The ports use pkg_create when you use 'make package' or 'make package-recursive'. Portupgrade uses it to backup an installed port before upgrading it. If you want to easily make packages for yourself from your installed ports, use this: pkg_create -jb packagename where packagename is one of the packages that you have installed (see pkg_info). Arjan
