If a new version of that package is released, due to a security
update for instance, would I be prompted to replace the package I
compiled (or alternatively rebuild the package from updated
sources) ?

I have compiled libssl for my Sparc, resulting in a truly noticeable
performance increase, but would hate to add a security risk by
possibly not being up to date with the latest patches.
