What is the procedure to run a custom kernel with pkgbase? In the
last couple of years we needed stability patches (pf, zfs, etc.) on
almost every second release (at least temporarily, until an errata was
created).
Would we need to run our own pkgbase server in this case or is there
another (non-hacky) way?

Instead of make installworld you can do something like make packages to build
your own packages.
NB: I don’t know the exact syntax from the top of my head.
NB2: Poudriere can probably also do this for you and integrate as a local pkg
repo.
