Some of us prefer the ports system ;-)

I'm not sure if I understand your problem correctly: 

	You want to pkg_ add a package but it needs additional software you
	have already installed "by hand" (configure, make, make install)

	or do you want to install (register?) "hand-built" software as
	a package via pkg_add?
