I think you shoud follow generic rule of dealing with ports maintained 
by other people.
Second you may want to use this as start point:
    http://people.freebsd.org/~bland/gcompriss2.patch
    http://people.freebsd.org/~bland/libassetml.shar
I did this some time ago but not commited because besides gcompross have 
--without-python configure option it still complains a lot about missing 
modules at run-time. So it usable but definetly provoke a lot of python 
related PRs I won't to deal with this time.

All the best,
Alexander.
