Slightly cleaner version below, obviously you could use different
tools to get the files into ${STAGEDIR}.
# $FreeBSD: #
PORTNAME= testport
PORTVERSION= 1.0
CATEGORIES= sysutils
MASTER_SITES= # none
DISTFILES= # none
EXTRACT_ONLY= # none
MAINTAINER= you@example.org
COMMENT= Blablabla
NO_WRKSUBDIR= yes
NO_BUILD= yes
NO_INSTALL= yes
post-install:
@${TAR} -xf ${FILESDIR}/input.tgz -C ${STAGEDIR}
@${FIND} ${STAGEDIR} -type f | \
${SED} "s|^${STAGEDIR}||" >> ${TMPPLIST}
.include <bsd.port.mk>
