No, tried that in the past (see Makefile revision 1.50 - 1.52) and
didn't work well (from the port's point of view).

a) There's not always a DVD-patch for the current alpha snapshot
   available. Have a look at the above URL, there were no patches
   for e.g. 2.01a17 - 2.01a19 and 2.01a21 - 2.01a24. This means if
   the patch for the previous version no longer applies and there's
   no updated patch available (which happens often) I have to either
   delay a port update or remove the DVD-patch-option until a new
   version of the patch is available or create my own patch - all
   no good solutions.
b) The quality of the DVD-patch is bad, there are obvious bugs
   (tried to fix some via an EXTRA_PATCHES while the port had an
   option for the DVD-patch).
c) Patching cdrecord means there's absolutely no support for it by
   its author Joerg Schilling, something I don't want for the port.

If you want to write DVDs please use a tool that's written for it,
like e.g. burncd(8), cdrecord-ProDVD, dvd+rw-tools or dvdrtools
(note that the latter is a fork of cdrecord which violates the GPL
according to Joerg Schilling).
