	It's fine for a small number of packages, when you want to be
precise about what comes from local builds. The catch is that if you don't
pay attention then sooner or later a pkg upgrade rips a dependency out from
under your custom build and you don't find out until you need the tool at
which point the need to do a build tends to cause bad language.

	I did try maintaining my own repository with poudriere for a while,
pkg supports multiple repositories with a preference order so it was happy
enough to pull from my repository preferentially. The only downside was
that I had to build all the dependencies as well as the ports I wanted and
I kept getting into trouble trying to keep the versions in sync.

	Nothing's perfect sadly - both ways are workable and both take work.
