It's literally a package of pre-built binaries. You can install it by
running:
# pkg add ./splunkforwarder-8.0.7-cbe73339abca-freebsd-11.1-amd64.txz
Here's what `pkg info` shows:
$ pkg info -F splunkforwarder-8.0.7-cbe73339abca-freebsd-11.1-amd64.txz

I'm not looking to re-build the binaries, but rather just use ports to
recreate the package given a pre-existing package tarball.
Thanks,
