Your choices are:

- you may use default package repository and then you must use default package builting options and flavours,
e.g. MySQL and not MariaDB, packages built with X11 options enabled etc.;
- or you may use non-default packages (f.e. MariaDB instead of MySQL) and then you either build and
use your own package repository containing packages built with your preferences;
- or you just build some packages using ports while using default package repository for distinct
packages and don't use "pkg upgdate".

I prefer third option. Sometimes it is handy to "pkg lock" packages you installed from ports buiklt with non-default options, too.
