    ports(7): Update instructions for package target
    
    Packages default to ending up in a different location compared to the
    documentation, so catch up to the implementation by referring to the
    location where packages can usually be found if no environment variables
    have been set.
    
    While here, also update the mention of the file extension to match the
    txz format that packages use.
