I have a few meta-ports I use to configure my base systems. eg, I have a "kci-dbserver" port that just has runtime requirements for postgres, slony, mysql, and nullmailer. Right now I made a subdirectory in ports called local to put them in, but portsnap likes to delete it regularly :-( These are very specific to my server configurations so don't really make sense for inclusion in the main ports tree. What is the preferred location/mechanism for having local ports? Ideally I'd like it to integrate with portupgrade which looks only in /usr/ports/* for the port files.
