If you're lucky, you can follow the default installation guide given 
with the app. Keep in mind though, that it may install by default to a 
location other than /usr/local and won't have the fbsd-specific rc.d 
script(s). Assuming that the app hasn't changed much since the ports 
version, you can probably keep using the old rc script though. If you 
have trouble, seek guidance from the porters handbook.
