You can generate your own packages from the ports tree, just not
with
pkg_install, it was deprecated three or four years ago, and
remove 19
months ago.
The best way to generate packages is with ports-mgmt/poudriere,
it will
generate a very nice pkg repository.

You might also look at ports-mgmt/synth. It is far simpler than
poudriere. While lacking any of the enterprise capabilities of
poudriere, it is a simple tool to support a modern, local pkg
repository of packages for distribution or to support locally
modified ports or ports that need to be built with non-standard options.
From synth(1):
" The synth program is an advanced concurrent ports building tool
aimed at
system administrators that prefer or require the building of
packages
from source rather than installing official binary packages.
synth will
build packages in a clean environment exactly mirrors the
system that
they are built on, it will create local package repositories
and install
pkg(8) repository configuration file that causes locally built
packages
to be used with the highest priority, all while allowing the
system to
fully upgraded with a single command."
Its major issue with some is that it is written in Ada, but I just
install the package for synth and never bother with building the Ada
compiler.

SO if I have an infrastructure that uses old style packages to deliver
data and configuration information to appliances in the field,
how does synth help me?
