'npm' (whatever the hell that is) has precisely nothing to do with 
FreeBSD ports/  -- go bug the maintainers.

No idea.  Honestly, don't particularly care, either.  You've been given 
the necessary incantations for a piece to compile/link against an 
installed port/package.  Multiple times.  It is now entirely up to you 
to determine how to apply that information to whatever build system it 
is that you have.  I'm sure they have a development list. 
freebsd-ports@ isn't it.
