If you just want to modify a program, and not want to do a tarball so you can poke around the code, I did this with gpsdrive by using fink commander. Fink commander has a preference to keep the build directory after installation. The great thing about this was that it kept the source directory with all of the patches installed. I copied the directory out the /sw/src directory and into my home directory, made my changes, then just did a .configure and make. Everything worked as I had hoped.
