Where is this package from? Have a look at this package with "tar -tzvf package.tar.gz", if it contains Makefile, pkg-descr, pkg-comment and pkg-plist then it is a port, not a package. Have a look at the handbook (either in /usr/share or on freebsd.org) for a description how to proceed further then. Bye, Alexander.
