If you need a port compiled with other than the standard options, you can't use the package, and it's a challenge to keep pkg from stomping your locally compiled versions. I lock the locally built packages with pkg lock, and every once in a while look to see if the port's updated, in which case I unlock it use portmaster to update it, then lock the new version.
