Try make package. This creates a package from an installed port.

Don't edit existing packages. Either create your own or make the changes after you've installed them.

Install the package on a running system.

Edit the files on that system.

Run pkg_create -b nameofpackage to create a new package based on the installed files.

In theory, that should pick up the changed files. Never tried it, though, so it may not work. :)

I think that it's not going to work always.
Look for example at how pkgtools.conf is created by the portupgrade port and how it's treated in /var/db/pkg/portupgrade*/+CONTENTS.
I think that if it will not work, you have to create your packinglist and use the -f option too.

My prefered method of building FreeBSD packages is
pkg_create -nvRb /var/db/pkg/PKG_NAME
The option -n is useful to avoid repeatedly creating of the same dependant packages, like Python, for example.
