Certainly. What's wrong with that?

I keep a repository called "sibptus" for packages which I need
compiled with special options. There are maybe 70 or 80 such packages
together with the dependencies.

See http://svn.sibptus.ru/packages/

All the rest I expect to download from the FreeBSD repository.
