You may want looms or pipelines, then.

The only way to do that in Bazaar as far as I know is to maintain a
separate branch for your local changes.  If you have multiple sets of
such changes, you'll need multiple branches, one for each set.  And
you would do it not by pulling, but by merging from trunk into your
branch.  You'd probably need to cherrypick patches out of that, not
rebase on to trunk (ie, sending stuff upstream will not get full
support from the VCS).
