If you are talking about a package tarball then what you did should have
worked.
If you are talking ports as in /usr/ports. Then cd to the directory
containing the target and do "make install" as root. then sit back and
watch the ftp and compiler messages fly.
If you are talking about a package and you are running a -release
system then you might want to use the /stand/sysinstall application
configure>>packages>>Install from an FTP server
If you are talking about a source tarball then
gzcat blabal.tar.gz | ar -xvf -
cd blabla
./configure
make
make install
Good Luck!
