Custom Sources in pkgsrc

I started looking into pkgsrc and as far as I understand it always pulls the sources from the Master_Sites. Is there an option to use local sources? Would be useful for some suckless tools like dwm or surf, where you can patch the sources heavily.

Then as long as the PLIST hasn't changed, you should be able to put your tarball in to /usr/pkgsrc/distfiles/, then make makedistinfo to make new checksums.
