I looked around but it seems this hasn't been documented yet? Weird :-)

The basic workflow:

# for patch management
pkg_add pkgdiff
# more warnings
echo PKG_DEVELOPER=yes >> /etc/mk.conf
# Update the version number in the Makefile, remove any PKGREVISION line
vi Makefile
# to regenerate the distinfo file
make mdi
# try applying the patches
PATCH_FUZZ_FACTOR=-F3 make patch
# fix the sources so they build; pkgvi will create backup files for pkgdiff/mkpatches
pkgvi ...
# regenerate the patches
mkpatches
# regenerate the patch checksums
make mps
# try building the package
make package

Of course, this leaves out a lot of details, but hopefully gives you
enough to start on.

Cheers,
 Thomas
