You can also copy the Portfile to any directory you please, then run "port
install" (no port name given) from that directory. This way, it will
definitely not be overwritten.

In order to get install to rerun, you have to either uninstall first or
increase the "revision" number in the Portfile.

"revision" specifically tracks updates to ports where the original software
doesn't change version number. The default is 0, and it's the source of the
"_0" in installed port version numbers. However, you may or may not want to
rely on it for local modifications in particular, since making up your own
increments to revision means that the official version will be counted an
upgrade only once its revision (or version) is *past* yours.
