Treating the symptom rather than the problem, but NO_PACKAGE is easily
overridden by setting the FORCE_PACKAGE environment variable.  Hm, I
just found out that this is not documented in the comments at the top of
bsd.port.mk...

As for treating the actual problem, CVS_LOCAL_BRANCH_NUM should
generally fit your needs.

G'luck,
Peter
