Ok, how?

Is it as simple as "copy these files out of the git tree into the /opt tree"? 
And if so, will that "clean up" automatically the next time I do a selfupdate?

Is there an environment variable I can set to say "Find the portfiles here, 
rather than in the default location"? My concern here is that I can easily 
think of cases where turning back a library requires turning back the programs 
that use that library.
