Correct. You need to have the ports tree installed.

The Makefile in /usr/ports/mail/mailman.

You can't. The package is just a pre-compiled binary of the port using
the default options specified in the port's Makefile. Basically, it's
the result of:
# cd /usr/ports/mail/mailman
# make package

pkg_add only deals with binaries. You'll need to compile the port
itself if you want to change the default options. Take a look at
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports.html
for info on installing the ports collection and installing individual
ports.
