Do a little research of your own? :) Read the ports(7) and pkg_add(1) manpages first; that should give you some idea of where things are. Then, look over www.FreeBSD.org and see if you can find something relevant to ports in the Handbook and the FAQ, and maybe some other documents there (who knows, maybe there's even a Porters' Handbook somewhere around.. but no, that would be too easy to find, right?..)
