That would be fine.  Or just having your mercurial patch queue available
relative to an lwIP release would also be fine.  I'm not fussy about
what form things are distributed in, or even if they are in the contrib
ports tree or not (there are a lot of ports that aren't, and I suspect
those are the ones that are maintained) but code that isn't kept up to
date is not much use.
