No, you misunderstood.

Correct.

But...
make -C /usr/ports/net/freeradius2 rmconfig
make -C /usr/ports/net/freeradius2 all-depends-list
<calculate diskspace>
make -C /usr/ports/net/freeradius2 install

Now you're presented with the config dialog and your calculated diskpace may 
be off.
That's what I meant with all-depends-list surpressing config target.
You also cannot check for /var/db/ports/*/options file being present, because 
config-conditional not only checks for the presence of the file, but also if 
options have been removed/deleted and will represent you with the config 
dialog if so.

So, all in all, when diskspace is critical and you want unattended 
installation after properly configuring the ports, you will want to read out 
the variables /after/ calling config-conditional and recurse through the list.
