At the moment, it is about as tricky as mixing locally compiled ports
with pkg_tools packages: ie. it might work, or it might leave you a
quivering, sobbing mess lost in a pit of dark despair.

One thing that should help is a proposal to record metadata like the SVN
revision number of the ports tree used to build repository packages into
the repository catalogue (repo.sqlite), so users can in principle check
out the same revision locally to build their own ports.  Unfortunately
no one has written that yet, and its probably too late for it to make it
into release-1.0.

	Cheers,
