Sir, please put down the coffee! :)

Seriously, your questions aren't easy to answer because you neglected
to include such basic information like if you installed mtools or not?

This ought to get you started:

install mtools and apsfilter:

cd /usr/ports/emulators/mtools
make install

cd /usr/ports/print/apsfilter
make install

Then give us some _descriptive_ error messages if you need further
assistance.
