You can safely omit the third step (removing those
files). Just run make install - and you're done.

A neater way would be to install portupgrade on
both machines, create /usr/ports/packages dir on
the first one, run something like
portupgrade -wWpaf, NFS mount /usr/ports on the
2nd one and use portupgrade -P <whatever>.

[Basically, it will create packages on the 1st
machine and then install ports from packages on
the 2nd one].
