Hi Zeljko,

You downloaded the ports infrastructure for the nmap distribution.
The ports infrastructure is a base of Makefile's with patches
(if needed) to make a application work on FreeBSD.

Just having the Makefile set doesn't give you the package.

you should download the ports distribution and install from there
a guideline in how that is done can be found:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/ports.html
there.

I hope this helps...

Cheers,
