If you put blackbox-0.62.1.tar.gz in /usr/ports/distfiles, the blackbox port Makefile should find it and do the build + install automatically for you. Take a look at /usr/ports/x11-wm/blackbox/Makefile and see what PORTVERSION it is expecting... if you have an older copy of the port you'll need the matching version of blackbox to use this method. Alternatively, download the package from ftp.freebsd.org, copy that across and pkg_add it.
