Use portupgrade, with the -p flag the first time you build the port, and with the -P flag after that. -p will save a package into /usr/ports/packages/ and - -P will check there first before attempting to build the port again. You could just "make package" yourself for the first one, but then you'd have to put it in place for the next install yourself, it's easier to let portupgrade do the work.
