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.
My preferences are for something that it's possible for other port tool authors to use, and something that requires the minimal necessary steps for the user. Since the OP is already editing knobs in ports.conf, and since IMO either ports.conf or make.conf are easier to transport between systems I think I'll give Matthew's idea a try first. :)
