Read the shell script.

It only mounts srcdir, objdir and devfs under BE_MNTPT.  The shell script
has absolutely no knowledge of other directories.

You could hack the script by adding e.g. portsdir=/usr/ports and then mount
it with
mount -t nullfs "${portsdir}" "${BE_MNTPT}${portsdir}" || errx "Unable to
mount ports"

Probably best to create a private copy named e.g. beinstall+ports.sh and
put it in your home directory.
