I want to be able to put in my own items, and have them be able to:

2) not have files that I've installed be overwritten by installed files

I don't see why you couldn't do that. Keep your own ports tree and set
PORTSDIR_PATH in /etc/mk.conf accordingly for a first step. Then you
can have your own version of any ports.
The ports tools don't overwrite existing files, they issue a warning.
