Is there a utility with the above functionality? That is, a single
command-line invocation that will fetch, compile if necessary, and
install one or more commands, distributions, packages, or ports?
For example,

  getfreebsdstuff -port "gnuplot*"

I have installed packages and ports, but the process is interactive
and tends to fail--I am probably doing things the "hard way" due to
lack of knowledge and would appreciate a steer toward the easy way.
