If you didn't define the variable PACKAGES in your environment while 
compiling, then they are in the directory of the port itself, where you typed 
make package.

Note that you can always rebuild installed packages, using:
for DIR in /var/db/pkg/*; do
	pkg_create -vb ${DIR##*pkg/} /path/${DIR##*pkg/}.tbz
done
