Re: how to install a port without install: in the Makefile
I presume Florent's preferred method is INSTALL_PROGRAM? So far, the only doc I've found is that it exists. So I put INSTALL_PROGRAM $(WORKDIR)/$(PORTNAME) (portname just happens to be the name of the executable) in the port Makefile, or what? I've never been able to 'read' makefiles, so I'm not sure a look at ports.mk is going to cause anything but frustration.

As suggested by Oliver you do in the Makefile:
[...]
do-install:
${INSTALL_PROGRAM} ${WRKSRC}/${PORTNAME} ${PREFIX}/bin/
[...]
Here you should decide yourself what is appropriate here:
WRKDIR is for example:
[wep4035] /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/slgtk make -V WRKDIR
/usr/ports/x11-toolkits/slgtk/work
while WRKSRC is:
[wep4035] /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/slgtk make -V WRKSRC
/usr/ports/x11-toolkits/slgtk/work/slgtk-0.7.3
So you should check in which directory your port extracts itself
(after make extract).
And you write in the pkg-plist:
bin/program_name
Here it is better not to bother with PORTNAME substitution and write
actual name of the program.
The documentation about internals of FreeBSD ports is available online:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/index.html
or, if you have installed (or built yourself) it, offline too:
file:///usr/share/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/index.html
Hope this helps,
Alexey.
