Err... what?
If you have a package (an archive file with a .tgz suffix, containing
the pre-built software), you install it with "pkg_add".
If you use the port, you automagically fetch the source code, apply
patches, build and install it with "make install" (or "make install
clean" to also get rid of all temporary files).
(And, should you for some reason then want to create a package, you
can do a "make package", but that requires the software to have been
installed first, using "make install", and will produce the archive
file, the one with a .tgz suffix, for use by pkg_add on some other
machine (or on the same machine, if you first remove the installed
version using pkg_delete))
Dunno if that answers your question, but that is how it works ;-)
