I suggest creating your own "repo fork" of the pfsense-packages repo on Github. Then make your changes to the package in question and submit them as a Pull Request back to pfsense-packages. Instructions for creating a fork and have it track the upstream master are on the Github site (Google can also be a good friend when learning how to use Git).
If you go to the pfsense-packages site and click Pull Requests in the upper right, you will see the currently open requests. Here is a link: https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense-packages/pulls.
