I did some work in the past on Torch7 ports before losing interest[1].
Check math/TH if you want to see how it detects OpenBLAS (default).

  $ git clone https://github.com/jbeich/freebsd-ports torch-ports
  $ export PORTSDIR=$PWD/torch-ports
  $ cd $PORTSDIR/devel/lua-trepl
  $ make install
  $ th51

[1] Many Torch pkgs rely on luarocks to build and resolve dependencies
    and some have a hard dependency on luajit. My approach didn't scale
    as writing such ports often required translating *.rockspec files
    which can quickly grow into maintenance nightmare, so an infra work
    had to be done beforehand.
