Yes -- my p5-FreeBSD-Portindex port will handle this very easily. If
you follow the standard instructions to instantiate the cache and maintai=
n
it via processing cvsup logs or whatever you can add in any number of loc=
al
ports by piping the names into cache-update. one per line:
cache-update -f plain <<E_O_LOCALPORTS
/usr/ports/local/foo
/usr/ports/local/bar
E_O_LOCALPORTS
You only need to do that when you init the cache or whenever you change
one of your local ports. Your local ports can be anywhere on your system=
-- there's no requirement for them to be under /usr/ports
However, I believe you have managed to point up a flaw in the way cache
init is done. Makefile.local in /usr/ports wouldn't be scanned for
additions to SUBDIR.

Woo. Fame at last. I'd be utterly delighted if you did choose my code
for that. I've been meaning to put some work into speeding up especially=
the cache-init stage, but ENOTIME at the moment. Bug fixes though -- jus=
t
let me know.
Cheers,
