It's most possible to perpetrate some evil hacks down in /var/lib/pkg,
but why not just update the port? It's unlikely to be terribly
difficult, and the maintainer (avsm at openbsd dot org) would most
likely be happy to take a look and help out with any issues.
You can do your work under /usr/ports/mystuff; there is quite a bit of
documentation available, and updating the port might well be as simple
as changing BASENAME, DISTNAME and PKGNAME in the Makefile.
