How to apply private patches to port?

[Heinrich Rebehn]

Hi list,

Is there some documentation about how to add private patches/hacks to a port?
Just add a patch-a{something} to the files directory?

Also, where do i find all the possible options for the 'make' command (not 'man 
make', but things line 'CFLAGS=... make install')

Thanks for your help
