You can very well roll your own package. After all, the pkg tools are
fully documented in that respect. But you can't expect to uninstall a
package and have stuff that depends on it still work. So the easiest way,
seriously, is to create a newer package. Don't fight the system.
If you

What is ? That you get free software ? That you pay absolutely
nothing for code that keeps improving, release after
If mixing ports and non-ports, you probably want to install the non-ports
things to a different prefix other than /usr/local (and set shlib_dirs
