The FreeBSD Forums will be the place to search and ask for additional help to do that. >> Sometimes i need to build specific version of some library from source, >> not from ports.

FreeBSD does have pkgng, but I'm not sure if it's the same thing. Some versions of packages can be chosen, but I believe that ports versions can be chosen too. The "Porter's Handbook", and "FreeBSD Handbook" may also provide assistance.
