i don't think that's really an issue at this point.  but if you want to 
ensure that a locally built package doesn't get touched you can always 
"pkg lock" it.  I do this for the drm related packages so that when 
upstream updates happen they don't get upgraded until i've built one 
custom for my workstations.
