As suggested by Oliver you do in the Makefile:
[...]
do-install:
${INSTALL_PROGRAM} ${WRKSRC}/${PORTNAME} ${PREFIX}/bin/
[...]
Here you should decide yourself what is appropriate here:
WRKDIR is for example:
[wep4035] /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/slgtk> make -V WRKDIR
/usr/ports/x11-toolkits/slgtk/work
while WRKSRC is:
[wep4035] /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/slgtk> make -V WRKSRC
/usr/ports/x11-toolkits/slgtk/work/slgtk-0.7.3
So you should check in which directory your port extracts itself
(after make extract).
And you write in the pkg-plist:
bin/program_name
Here it is better not to bother with PORTNAME substitution and write
actual name of the program.
The documentation about internals of FreeBSD ports is available online:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/index.html
or, if you have installed (or built yourself) it, offline too:
file:///usr/share/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/index.html
Hope this helps,
Alexey.
