You can create a "package" after the fact with:

    pkg_create -b foo

Where "foo" is the name of an installed port, i.e.:

,-----------------------------------------------------------------------
| $ pkg_info | fgrep vim-lite
| vim-lite-7.0.224_1  Vi "workalike", with many additional features (Lite package
| $ pkg_create -b vim-lite-7.0.224_1
| $ ls -ld vim-lite*
| -rw-rw-r--  1 keramida  wheel  5347344 May 28 20:14 vim-lite-7.0.224_1.tbz
| $
`-----------------------------------------------------------------------

You don't even have to be root to run pkg_create, as you can see above.
