Thanks, but unfortunately it won't work since the Ports system has been
changed quite a bit since FreeBSD 3.3.

Please read the Porter's Handbook (should be a link on the web site).
In particular, I noticed that you haven't set PORTNAME or PORTVERSION.
Also, you should update your ports tree with cvsup, install the latest
portlint, and run 'portlint -abcvt' in your port directory.  (Those are
the flags I used, then it seems to spot most problems.)

When you have fixed the problems, please use the send-pr(1) program to
submit your port.  By tradition the synopsis field should be "New port:
hyperbuilder" or something.
