packaging foreign tarballs

My apologies if this is covered in the FAQ, I didn't see it. 

If I build a foreign tarball that is either not in the ports, or not the
version that I want, is there a way to then integrate that build as a package,
registered with the FreeBSD packaging system?

I don't like just installing to /usr/local without a way to uninstall cleanly
later. 

Thanks,
Mike
