Compiling for the first time (more or less)

Sorry about the reply, rather than reply-all, Giorgos. Thank you for 
your help on this.

So, my next question is, how does one know that the wonderful and 
brilliant FreeBSD port squad already took care of things like this? I 
assume that it is documented somewhere, but I didn't see it on the 
description page for the port. Am I just going to have to ask more 
stupid questions like this, until I get a better feel for things?
