Yes, we have a mess. If you need a port compiled with other than the
standard options, you can't use the package, and it's a challenge
to keep pkg from stomping your locally compiled versions.
I lock the locally built packages with pkg lock, and every once in
a while look to see if the port's updated, in which case I unlock it
use portmaster to update it, then lock the new version.
