Have you read the man page for pkg_create? You can read it here:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=3Dpkg_create. If you read it, ca=
n
you narrow down your questions to be more specific (e.g. why don't the
-f and -I arguments to pkg_create meet your requirements)?

I'd recommend you create a simple ports directory with the Makefile,
distinfo, pkg-descr files, etc. and do a "make package" from there. It's
easier than specifying the many command line arguments to pkg_create and
it helps portability. See
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/index.h=
tml
for instructions.
