Let's take this step-by-step.
cd /usr/ports/print/apsfilter
make distclean # this will make sure that the old build is cleaned and the
old distfile is removed
make # This should fetch, extract, configure, and build the port, make sure
it succeeds and does not die
with a bunch of Error Code 1's
make install # This will install the port. After it is completely installed,
go
look at /var/db/pkg/apsfilter-$version/+CONTENTS and find out
where it installed everything, probably /usr/local/apsfilter
or /usr/local/share/apsfilter
Verify the files are actually installed there, then
make distclean # again

Probably the machine was not accepting connections due to load.

I doubt this is the case, the ports system is (usually) good about this.
Likely, it never installed a single file outside of
/usr/ports/print/apsfilter.
