make package
for a single port or:
make package-recursive
or
portupgrade -Rp
for the respective port and all depens packages.


If you use portupgrade (I do this for upgrading a bunch of desktops at
my clients) put:
  PKG_SITES = [
    sprintf('ftp://my.pkgserver.tld/pub/FreeBSD/packages/'),
  ]
in /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf and make the ftp server serve packages
from that dir.
