So, I've been a NetBSD user for many years, and am looking more

I can't figure out if FreeBSD ports has a way to keep and automatically
apply "local" patches to ports. I want to modify the way the internals of
a package/port operate, and not in a way that makes sense to move up-
stream. It's just my preference.
Is there a way in FreeBSD ports to keep a "make this change to the
source code after extracting and before compiling" type of thing in the
tree?
I'm not aware of something similar to pkgsrc's $LOCALPATCHES, but you
can still drop local patches in the "files" directory of the port:

I use in /etc/make.conf:
...
.if ${.CURDIR:M*/ports/x11-wm/openbox}
EXTRA_PATCHES+=/home/ok/patches/openbox/patch-VK-NULL_SELF_TITLE.diff
EXTRA_PATCHES+=/home/ok/patches/openbox/patch-VK-SPEED_FOCUS.diff
.endif
...
