Comment (by kencu):

 I find your best bet is to sudo copy the original Portfile in it's
 original location to `Portfile.orig`, make your edits to `Portfile`, and
 then diff them with `diff -u Portfile.orig Portfile >
 ~/Desktop/somename.diff`

 Or go the github way instead, if you're going to do this at all
 frequently.
