Well, the usual way to install a port is:
cd /usr/ports/*/portname
make install
If that is the older version, then you do
make deinstall
cd /usr/ports/*/cvsup
make install
cd /usr/ports
cp /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile mysup
edit mysup to pick the server to use
cvsup
and *then*
cd /usr/ports/*/portname
make install
You pkg_add a *package* (thus the name), not a *port*; you can get packages
from the freebsd.org website.
There's lots more info in the FreeBSD handbook. You should check it out.
