I am using (from a long time) union-mount of local /usr/local/ports over
ports tree:

  % mount | grep ports
  /ftp/pub/BSD/FreeBSD/GIT/ports on /usr/ports (nullfs, read-only)
  <above>:/usr/local/ports on /usr/ports (unionfs, read-only)

  % grep ports /etc/fstab
  /ftp/pub/ports  /usr/ports      nullfs  noauto,ro               0 0
  /usr/local/ports /usr/ports     unionfs noauto,ro               0 0

Simple and effective.
I am using Makefile.local to add local Makefile extensions


cheers,
