Have a look at pkg_create(1)
I will generally use the following command to create a bunch of
packages of installed ports.
pkg_info | awk '{ print "pkg_create -yb", $1 }' | sh
or
pkg_info | cut -d' ' -f1 | xargs -n pkg_create -yb
(I'm certain someone will point out a better way of doing this)
I will place these packages in a NFS/SMB shared directory or NULL
mount it for jails to install packages on other systems/jails.
