I am writing software that I would eventually like to install on FreeBSD. I'm currently stuck trying to write a Makefile that will point to my local git dir, so I can build and install it while I'm developing. All of the finished Makefiles reference tar packages, which makes sense. But when I'm actively developing, I don't want to commit the code, push it, have it built, update the makefile with the commit, and make.

Does anyone know of a way to override options to a port's Makefile to point to a local directory on disk? I want to run "sudo make install" and "make package" from my development directory, using the same Makefile that would be in the ports tree.
