When building ports, I get lots of popup dialogs that interrupt the
build process. Is there a make flag to bypass these dialogs?

Yes, set the environment variable BATCH, see also ports(7).
If you don't want standard build options everywhere, you can do a
`make config-recursive` first (BATCH might not be needed in this case)
or override options in your make.conf like e.g.

| www_firefox_SET= FFMPEG
| www_firefox_UNSET= PULSEAUDIO JACK

Yes, set the environment variable BATCH, see also ports(7).

Just to be clear, that is done by changing to the port directory
and typing
make -DBATCH
(the D isn't intuitive)

All ports are then built with default options. Usually it works.
The -DBATCH must be repeated with the install phase:
make -DBATCH install

Deleting your hidden firefox profile folder might fix the problem.
I don't have FreeBSD system at hand momentarily, but the folder should
be somewhere below the path ~/.local, ~/.config or ~/.cache
