I use the port at the same revision number as the official port, then 
uninstall the current version, put my local port repository in 
$prefix/etc/ports/sources.conf as a file:/// before the rsync one, then 
use portindex.  When I'm happy, I submit it upstream with a bump in 
revision and move the port out of my local repository (say into a 
retired ports directory that MacPorts doesn't nsee), since it shadows 
the main one.

Cool.  That'll be nice to get in.
