make package-recursive not installing port

[Amitabh Kant]

Thanks Mathew for clearing that up.

The last time I created package was still under the pkg_* tools mode, so
was carrying old baggages.

On a related note, if I use "pkg repo" command, I should be able to create
a complete repo for local use right? (I know I have poudriere, but I am
just clearing up the basics here) .
