I think it would make sense to put all local changes (=="Pkgfile.personal" 
into a separate hierarchy (e.g. "local"):

/usr/ports
  - base
     * foolib
     * barlib
  - opt
  - contrib
  - local
     - base
         * foolib
         * barlib
     - opt
     - contrib

This way it would be much easier to make backups of only the local changes 
(which is all that is needed)

With best regards,
Florian
