I too might like to compile something not in the ports tree, would like to make a
category "mystuff" but don't really know how to make it work.
I might get an error message for invalid category, as happened to me once in
NetBSD with pkgsrc, and I also don't want it to be changed by svn update, or
cvs update in the case of NetBSD and pkgsrc.
One package of possible interest is Steffen Daode Nurpmeso's s-nail, to be
renamed to s-mailx, which is an update to heirloom-mailx and mailx or nail;
included in Arch Linux and OpenBSD ports.
Or maybe I want to test a modification to an existing package.
You can start by modifying existing port.
If you want to and your own local category you should add it to
/usr/ports/Makefile first (SUBDIR += mycategory)
Then you should add new SUBDIR line to /usr/ports/mycategory/Makefile
