I've been advised I should attempt to port this for general use to 
FreeBSD. I've been operating it manually very successfully now in a 
number of operations. This is, however, my first attempt at a port and I 
would like some guidance to see if I've done this right.

I was advised to copy the essential parts from a similar port, so I've 
used archivers/linux-f10-ucl. This is my Makefile:

# New ports collection makefile for:    archivers/linux-f10-nss_ldap
# Date created:                2012-01-04
# Whom:                    rskinner
#
# $FreeBSD$

And I have a pkg-descr file.

Am I on the right track? I'm following the porters handbook as well.

Cheers
