Creating port from pre-built package

[Shawn Webb]

Hey all,

The Splunk universal forwarder for FreeBSD is distributed as a package
tarball that you can use `pkg add` on. I'm in a position where I'd
like to create a port of the package so that I can automate certain
tasks.

Being a ports newb, I'm not sure how to properly create a port from a
pre-built package. Does anyone have any non-xkcd pointers[1]?
