There are a number of difficulties: 1: Making sure that your ports tree is in sync with the one used for package building. 2: Preventing pkg from replacing your ports during pkg upgrade (careful use of pkg lock is required) 3: Dependencies built with different options may not always work. I've found it fairly easy to handle a few leaf packages as ports more than that is likely to get fiddly. -- Steve O'Hara-Smith <steve@sohara.org>
