I have no clue why you'd want to avoid the ports, but if you want to do so,
just check the net for the source .tgz files of your favorite application,
download, untar and unzip it, and then follow the make file.
Or you can "cheat" and use te ports to figure out where the sources live.
Mind you, I can't see what possible benefit there is in this; personally, I
use the ports even when I modifiy the sources by hand . . .
