There is not enough difference in a ports install to a manual install,  
IMO.  In fact, I prefer manual and it also makes it easier to update.  
YMMV The hard part is not the install but the configuration.

Just follow the instructions on the Joomla site.

Download the latest and greatest from joomla.org
Unpack it in your Web home.
Create a mysql data base with user and password.
Run the installation program.
Refer to the docs if you get stuck.

IIRC, that is about it, EXCEPT for the NEW site configuration,  
plugins, themes, etc. etc. etc.

enjoy,

P.S. Example Joomla is at 1.5.8 now.
