On this list, there are two ongoing threads about it,
started in the last couple days. 

Look for subject lines "Explain staging" and
"[HEADSUP] Staging, packaging and more" here:

General overviews:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2013-October/086341.html
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2013-October/086346.html

Conversion details:
https://wiki.freebsd.org/ports/StageDir

IMHO the overviews need to be incorporated into the wiki.
