The ports usually come with information in the form of manual
pages, which should install on the system when the port is 
installed.  There may also be other files, usually in a subdirectory
called doc, or there may be a file called README.  Check the
PLIST (packing list) file in the pkg directory for a list of files
that are part of the port.

The documentation for the port may also reference a FAQ available
on the Internet somewhere that might have useful information, or
a mailing list to which you can subscribe, or a newsgroup.  These
may be useful for a while for getting a port configured, if it is
a complicated one.
