Yes.

The information about the phases that are already done are stored in the
work directory (make -v WRKDIR). There, you find the hidden files
.extract_done, .patch_done, plus a few others. These files are called
"cookie files" by the pkgsrc infrastructure.

To persist your local changes, search for pkgvi and mkpatches in
https://www.netbsd.org/docs/pkgsrc/pkgsrc.html. Then you can run 'make
clean' as necessary to create a reproducible build.
