Just run make install - and you're done. A neater way would be to install portupgrade on both machines, create /usr/ports/packages dir on the first one, run something like portupgrade -wWpaf, NFS mount /usr/ports on the 2nd one and use portupgrade -P <whatever>. [Basically, it will create packages on the 1st machine and then install ports from packages on the 2nd one].
