it sounds like you want a different parcellation of the lateral prefrontal cortex than what is offered by the default atlas (aparc, AKA the desikan atlas) - I suggest you load in ?h.aparc.a2009s.annot (aka the destrieux atlas) as your annotation in tksurfer and select the annotations of the PFC that you want from there and save as labels. The aparc.a2009 annotation offers a more fine grained parcellation of the PFC - e.g. you can get the DLPFC by merging the middle frontal gyrus & middle frontal sulcus parcellations.
