Well the skip port creates a module..

Urk! :)

Creating a module which will build outside the source tree is fairly simple,
for an example have a look at wpaul's if_dc driver which does this.

Then you can just install in in /usr/local/share/myport/kld and load it from
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/myport.sh
