There are several ways to install software. The handbook deals with them 
quite extensively: 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports.html

'man pkg_add' might also be of help.

If your script doesn't require bash, you could just use /bin/sh instead.

'uname -a' works well for this.
