# touch /var/db/pkg/<portname>/+IGNOREME

After that, anytime portmaster runs and <portname> is included in the
list of ports to update, a message will appear asking if you want to
skip that port because it has +IGNOREME set.

It's not 100% automated (as in always skip), but it works really well.
 The question acts as a reminder that you set that, in case you ever
forget.  :)
