Depending on how you are updating your ports tree for the poudriere builds, you may need to make sure it is not overwriting your local changes. You might be better copying the port to a new port in your local tree, so any changes to the actual one don't over-write your local changes. However, I am not sure this is the best idea. If there is a problem with the port, you should probably either raise a bug report or get in contact with the port maintainer (you can see who maintains the port using freshports.org or by looking in the Makefile. If you keep a custom port and it stops working in the future, you will be on your own. If you report the problem and get it fixed for everyone, you can enjoy the new port updates and fixes as they become available in the future.
