Looking at [2] it appears you have a somewhat fat RUN_DEPENDS list for each of the 2 ports you intend to create. You can probably get up to speed fairly quickly by reading the Slow Porting[3] section of the FreeBSD porters documentation. You should be fine mostly glossing over it, using the appendixes for references, as need be. After giving it a quick read, look in the ports tree for some examples of similar applications to get a better feel for how to compose the Makefile, and what's needed to create the additional files to create a complete port for your port(s). If, along the way you still find you have questions; feel free to email me off list, and I'll be happy to help you out. You also have the FreeBSD Forums[4] and IRC channels[5] available to you for support.
