Yes. The binary packages that pkg will use for installing
and updating are based on the _default_ compile time options
set by the maintainer. If you chose to use different options
and your package is "out of date", it will be updated with
the current version, _missing_ your options.

In order to avoid it, see "pkg lock" and "pkg unlock" to
protect your ("custom") version of Git from being updated.
To update it, update your /usr/ports tree and use the typical
"make install" method (or for example portmaster, if you're
using a port management tool).
