Show us your makefile please.
When I created my first port, I remember I had some difficulty to
understand staging: imho it needs to be explained better in the documentati=
on.
Are you aware of the variable ${STAGEDIR}? You probably need to add
to your makefile some lines similar to the followings:
do-install:
${INSTALL_PROGRAM} ${WRKSRC}/??/pgAdmin4 ${STAGEDIR}${PREFIX}/bin
