Yes.

Thank you.  As it turns out my question about replacing an installed package
with a (built) port was not really curcial to what I am attempting to do.
But it is Good to have this information for future reference anyway.

My real problem, at present, is different.

I tried to build the ffmpeg port with the (better but non-free) Fraunhofer
FDK AAC codec, and in the configuration screen at build time the checkbox
to enable the Fraunhofer FDK AAC codec (aka "fdk-aac") for ffmpeg *was*
checked, but after the build, when I run the resulting ffmpeg binary it
is complaining when I try to use the following command line (in a simple
script):

    ffmpeg -i $ifile -c:v copy -c:a libfdk_aac -b:a 128k $ofile.mkv

I am getting an error that says that ffmpeg doesn't know about anything
about any codec called libfdk_aac.

This is really pissing me off.  I have built ffmpeg with the Fraunhofer
FDK AAC codec in the past (and I have used the same small script in the
past) and I never had any problems.  Now however it is just as if I had
never even selected that (fdk-aac) option in the ffmpeg port build
configuration menu!

Any advice appreciated.
