Unpack a port file and cd into it's directory, eg, nedit, and run make. Make will fetch the most current source from the master site for the software, and usually will also try a couple backup sites in case the master is down. It then applies the patches and builds the software. Also, since nedit uses the Motif libraries the port won't help most people. The package version has a statically linked binary.
