You can create a category in the ports system with t= he mkdir(1) command, like ``mkdir /usr/ports/mycategory''. This way all the po= rts updating utilities (csup, portsnap) will leave your port alone. Once you ha= ve the port for this piece of software of yours, you can create a package anyt= ime by typing "make package". The ports framework is pretty nice and easy to us= e, I have also managed to make a port and some packages of some of my own piec= e of software.
