There's a NO_PACKAGE variable used to prevent the build cluster from
generating packages, or at least, from uploading packages to the FTP
servers.  You could (ab)use this to mark packages you always want to
install from source -- so, choosing apache22 as an example, you could
put something like this in /etc/make.conf:

.if ${.CURDIR:M*/www/apache22}
NO_PACKAGE=   yes
.endif

or you could put NO_PACKAGE=yes into
/usr/ports/www/apache22/Makefile.local or use portconf or various other
ways.

portmaster would then have to run something on the lines of:

   cd ${PORTSDIR}/www/apache22 ; make -V NO_PACKAGE

to detect the setting.

	Cheers,
