Yup, I have relied on that behavior many a time, which is indeed convenient.  And can be a huge WTF at times too.  Sometimes I forget I have a local port of something and sit there wondering what in the world is causing this ancient port to be installed when clearly there is a newer version.  Once you get a handle on how this all works, and how you can even completely ignore the local repo and work on say, you Desktop if you want to run a quick hack type test, it all comes tother really nicely.
