If you want to compile your own packages with custom options then fine, but do it properly with either poudriere or synth. Otherwise, just use the FreeBSD generic ones. Portupgrade and portmaster are fine but only as long as they work, and from my experience sooner or later they always stop working and from then there is going to be a path of misery, wasted time and broken applications.
