What you need to do is:
1) Remove the source from /usr/src and put it someplace that you won't want
to change it. I use /pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/src/.....

2) Use lndir to make a clone of the source tree in /usr/src

3) Modify whatever files you wish by replacing the symbolic link with your
modified file.
