You can get the package name out of the port:

	su-2.04# pwd
	/usr/ports/shells/bash1
	su-2.04# make -V PKGNAME
	bash-1.14.7
	su-2.04# 

So the single command you want in the ports tree is:

	pkg_add -r `make -V PKGNAME`

I'm not sure that a make target in the port system to do this makes
sense, but it certainly wouldn't be hard to do.
