This is a bit off-topic, but the same basic method works pretty well
under BSD, and it's useful when you don't have exactly the port you need
or the exact version of a library that a port expects.

Here's what I did under Solaris-10. First, build the stuff that GNU
autotools needs, like GNU m4:
me% wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/m4/m4-1.4.13.tar.gz
me% gtar xzf m4-1.4.13.tar.gz
me% cd m4-1.4.13
me% CC=gcc CFLAGS=-O2 ./configure --mandir=/usr/local/man \
--program-prefix=g
me% make
me% make check
root# make install
me% make distclean
me% gm4 --version
m4 (GNU M4) 1.4.13
Copyright (C) 2009 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
The program-prefix part installs it as "gm4", just in case your vendor
version of m4 is unique in some way.
me% wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/autoconf-2.63.tar.gz
me% gtar xzf autoconf-2.63.tar.gz
me% cd autoconf-2.63
me% CC=gcc CFLAGS=-O2 EMACS=no ./configure --mandir=/usr/local/man
me% make
me% make check
root# make install
me% make distclean
You'll also need automake to get a recent version of "aclocal":
me% wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/automake/automake-1.11.tar.gz
me% gtar xzf automake-1.11.tar.gz
me% cd automake-1.11
me% CC=gcc CFLAGS=-O2 ./configure --mandir=/usr/local/man
me% make
me% make check
root# make install
me% make clean
As far as recreating the build system for ntop, that's a snap after
the auto-stuff is installed:
me% wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/ntop/ntop-3.3.10.tar.gz
me% gtar xzf ntop-3.3.10.tar.gz
me% cd ntop-3.3.10
me% ./autogen.sh
However, "ntop" depends on "rrdtool" being installed, and that drags in
everything on Earth:
me% wget http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/pub/rrdtool-1.3.8.tar.gz
me% gtar xzf rrdtool-1.3.8.tar.gz
me% cd rrdtool-1.3.8
me% cat /tmp/doconfig
#!/bin/sh
CC=gcc
CFLAGS=-O2
LDFLAGS="-L/opt/sfw/lib"
CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/sfw/include"
LIBTOOL=/opt/sfw/bin/libtool
export CC CFLAGS LDFLAGS CPPFLAGS LIBTOOL
./configure --disable-nls --disable-ruby --disable-libintl
exit 0
me% sh /tmp/doconfig
checking build system type... i386-pc-solaris2.10
...
I could not find a working copy of cairo-png
I could not find a working copy of cairo-svg
I could not find a working copy of cairo-pdf
I could not find a working copy of cairo-ps
I could not find a working copy of pangocairo
configure: error: Please fix the library issues listed and try again.
At this point, I was in dependency hell. I tried messing with the load
and include compiler flags to get to the versions under /opt/sfw, but
I had no luck. There's probably some really easy way to build this,
or I could just build the required libraries, but I didn't have time
to mess with it.
