Once a build has finished, running bmake again in the pkgsrc directory
won't do anything anymore (even if you made changes), because it sets a
. build_done "cookie" in your work dir.  Just remove it, and run bmake
again.

Btw, you can save local patches in a ${LOCALPATCHES} directory, so you
don't have to apply them manually each time.  Pkgsrc will apply them after
the pkgsrc patches.  Just set LOCALPATCHES=/some/where in /etc/mk.conf and
put your patches in $LOCALPATCHES/x11/xorg-server/*.
