I was unaware of bsd.local.mk, so thanks for pointing this out.

We can also accomplish our goal with the following two changes:

/etc/make.conf:

USE_LOCAL_MK=yes

${PORTSDIR}/mk/bsd.local.mk:

VALID_CATEGORIES+=wip

In theory, these should be one-time modifications, which is better than having
to patch after every portsnap update.

I was hoping the wip category could be fully embraced as it is in the pkgsrc
project, though.  I think having a common location for unfinished ports would
facilitate more collaboration on new ports development and eliminate some of
the duplicated effort caused by the currently fragmented or unpublished
work-in-progress collections.
