If they're from BMG, /dev/null is a good place. Otherwise, set
PORTDIR_OVERLAY in /etc/make.conf to something sane (such as
/home/overlay), make the relevant directories inside there (eg
app-misc/newtoy) and place newtoy-1.23.ebuild there.

The x/y directories bit is important, and catches a lot of people out.
You need to have a sensible tree inside PORTDIR_OVERLAY.
