Would this work for you?  From the manpage:

     For those who wish to be sure that specific ports are always compiled
     instead of being installed from packages the PT_NO_INSTALL_PACKAGE vari-
     able can be defined in the make(1) environment, perhaps in
     /usr/local/etc/ports.conf if using /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portconf, or in
     /etc/make.conf.  This setting is not compatible with the
     -PP/--packages-only option.
