You can lock a package and it will prevent it upgrade by pkg, e. g.

pkg lock foo

You can compare version of locally installed package with version in a ports 
index, but this will include all packages, including ones installed from 
binary packages:

make -C /usr/ports fetchindex
pkg version --index -IvL=

3. how to upgrade just these local ports?
There are several tools, I personally use portmaster, e. g.:

portsnap fetch update # to update /usr/ports
pkg unlock foo
portmaster foo
pkg lock foo # to prevent reinstall/upgrade by pkg upgrade
