Unpack the tar file, read the README and INSTALL files and follow their instructions. I've had very few problems compiling software from off the Net with FreeBSD. If you do run into a problem, just post the error messages from make. Someone will probably have the answer for you. The big advantage of ports is that they register the installation and can use dependencies. The actual "port" is generally a very small part of the work.
