No.

Most software in the ports follow the philosophy that users copy the
configuration files and edit them. But fail2ban is different: you don't edit
the original .conf-files but do you changes and your changes only in
corresponding .local-files. E.g., to enable ssh you would create a file
jail.local with the lines
 [sshd]
 enabled = true
(plus other specifics) in it.

See the header of fail2ban.conf and jail.conf files.
This way you'll benefit from enhancements and fixes coming from upstream
without having to merge your files after every update or risk losing the
changes.
