As you noted, "prepare-system" is a convenience command that uses the 
pkg database to generate a build list.  It doesn't take a file as input 
because that doesn't make sense.  In your case, you would want 
"just-build" followed by "rebuild-repository" or you'd use "build" and 
answer the questions when it's finished.

"prepare-system" is basically dumping the list of installed ports from 
pkg(8) and just building those and then building the repository 
afterwards.
