Thought I'd try it. This is how one makes a binary package out of a 
port:

% cd /ports/databases/postgresql/
% make USE_TCL=yes package
===>  postgresql-6.4.2 may not be packaged: Requires pgsql uid.
% 

Apparently it blows up because the package system does not yet support 
the creation/addition of new user id's. Or maybe there is some good 
reason a package can not create a user account?
