I've until now only used the above mentioned form to create package
files from installed packages to installe them into another computer;

but, if I understand the man-page of pkg_create(1) correctly, one can
also create with this packages from the files in the file system;

create a package with 'pkg_create -Rb foo-1.2.3_4' and have a look into
the resulting tar file foo-1.2.3_4.tbz; this will give you an idea of
what you must provide on the command line for building a package from
certain files; this is what I would start with;
