>From /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.ports.mk :

  # IS_INTERACTIVE
  #               - Set this if your port needs to interact with the user
  #                 during any step in a package build.  User can then decide
  #                 to skip this port by setting ${BATCH}, or compiling only
  #                 the interactive ports by setting ${INTERACTIVE}.
  #                 Default: not set.
