Note I've never used Debian (only ever RH Linux for a bit), but why is
cd /usr/ports/some_port_dir/some_port
make install clean
hard to figure out? Did you read the handbook? Have you tried using pib?
(Ports Index Browser - /usr/ports/sysutils/pib)
That said, there is a new, still in development, package system in the
