I'm looking at /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk for some more clues.

Do you mean do:

VALID_CATEGORIES+= OURSITE

in /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk?

The first part is clear but after looking in some example ports I couldn't 
find exactly what SUBDIR in ports/OURSITE/Makefile would do.

I did come across /usr/ports/Tools/scripts/addport and 

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/committers-guide/ports.html

so it seems I have some playing around to do.
