I have never done this, but if I were running a private ports tree I would be tempted to root it (if not on a separate partition) at "/usr/priv_ports" or something similar and have the structure minic /usr/ports whereever possible. The name would then be semi-intuitive, and a simple change of a few environment variables (perhaps in the login file of an account dedicated to working on those ports) would be all it took to change the framework.
