You can match against the existing variable and change it:
protocol bgp peer_a {
ebgp localpref rx;
import filter {
if bgp_local_pref = 12349 then {
print "changing it";
bgp_local_pref = 54321;
}
accept;
};
[...]
}

Are you asking for a variable that records the received LOCAL_PREF that
is separate from bgp_local_pref?
