If I'm following you correctly;
Wouldn't just filing a pr(1) (https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/)
against the port, with your proposed patch, do it?
It would then get those (proposed) changes into the ports tree
permanently, and neither you, nor anyone else would have to deal
with that overhead anymore. :)
