OK, I installed 11-a2 and poudriere. Now I'm running testport, however I 
have a question - poudriere wiki describes situation where developer 
patches port and runs it to test. This looks like final precaution 
before commit to port tree.

What if I don't know yet what to patch, but need to experiment a little? 
I want 'make extract', then patch by hand, then try to compile. Is it 
possible?
