Sounds like you downloaded the port.

If you are not familiar with ports, refer to www.freebsd.org/handbook

In a nutshell, ports are a makefile that contains an ftp url for the
source the program you would like to install.

You simply have to tar -xvf the port, and type "make" in the proper
directory.

It will then download the sources and compile the program for you.

When it is done, you can type "make install" and the binaries/support
files will be put in place, ready to run, and a corresponding entry will
be put in /var/db/pkg (just like the packages).

Ports are a great resource, since you get the source and the compiled
program in one swoop; and you know it'll compile without problems ( if you
do have problems, see the website for information on reporting such
mishaps ).
