What is the procedure to run a custom kernel with pkgbase? In the
last couple of years we needed stability patches (pf, zfs, etc.) on
almost every second release (at least temporarily, until an errata was
created).

Would we need to run our own pkgbase server in this case or is there
another (non-hacky) way?
