A port is simply a set of instructions to build a pkg.  So you're 
looking for a set of instructions to build a pkg from a pkg you already 
have.  That's a very short list of instructions...

Possibly a more instructive question is "how do I add a pre-compiled 
package to my existing pkg repo?"

That's functionality that poudriere is currently in the process of 
acquiring, but in principle it's just a matter of copying the pkg into 
the data area of your repo, and then using `pkg repo` to rebuild the 
repo index.
