Not quite what you want but this little python script
will build packages of all currently installed ports.

(Watch out for any wrapping of code)

=================== 8< ======================
#!/usr/bin/env python
# make_packages.py
#
# Script to create packages for currently installed ports/packages.
# Will build packages in the current working directory so a
# 'cd /usr/ports/packages/All' command would be useful before running it.
#
# Usage: script make_packages.log && make_packages.py /var/db/pkg/*
#

# needed modules
import sys, os

pkg_create = "/usr/sbin/pkg_create"
print '==========='

dash_b = '-b'

for name in sys.argv[1:]:

#    print ":: ", name
     pkg_name = name.split('/')[-1]
     print "Installed package:", pkg_name

     # run pkg_create command, capture errors but don't stop
     print "Command: ", pkg_create, dash_b, pkg_name
     status = os.spawnv(os.P_WAIT, pkg_create, [pkg_create, dash_b, 
pkg_name])
     print "Status:", status

Enjoy.
