What I have done in the past is create "slave" ports. Say the port you want= to=20 install twice is in ports/category/foo. Make a new directory=20 ports/category/bar. Inside that directory, create a Makefile similar to thi= s: PORTNAME=3D foo PKGNAMESUFFIX=3D _bar-duplicate COMMENT=3D This is the foo port but it installs as foo_bar-duplicate PREFIX=3D /path/to/alternate/prefix # ...you may want other options here ... MASTERDIR=3D ${.CURDIR}/../foo =2Einclude "${MASTERDIR}/Makefile" Install once from category/foo and once from your new port's directory and= =20 away you go. Again, the porter's handbook has lots of useful information=20 about everything above. JN
