You don't need to go to those lengths.  You could just add a
command-line switch, or a check for a cookie (.buildme or .nopkg, say)
in the corresponding PORT_DBDIR  subdirector(y|ies), or both, to allow
the user to indicate to portmaster that it should always build the
port(s) in question, even if -P is used.
