sorry 'bout that. i wasn't sure since it's both a question and something
concerning ports ;-)

from the ports manual:
package Make a binary package for the port. The port will be
installed if it has not already been. The package is a
.tbz file that you can use to install the port on other
machines with pkg_add(1). If the directory specified by
PACKAGES does not exist, the package will be put into
the current directory. See PKGREPOSITORY and PKGFILE.
sounds encouraging, but here's what happens when i actually try it:
# cd /usr/ports/shells/bash
# make package
===> Installing for bash-3.0.16_1
===> bash-3.0.16_1 depends on shared library: intl - found
===> Generating temporary packing list
===> Checking if shells/bash already installed
===> bash-3.0.16_1 is already installed
You may wish to ``make deinstall'' and install this port again
by ``make reinstall'' to upgrade it properly.
If you really wish to overwrite the old port of shells/bash
without deleting it first, set the variable "FORCE_PKG_REGISTER"
in your environment or the "make install" command line.
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/shells/bash.
there's nowhere for me to specify that i don't want bash installed on this
machine.

you.
