You can install the "zip" program:
# pkg_add -r zip
and then use it recursively, e. g.
% zip -r9 stuff.zip dir1 dir2 dir3 fileX fileY
If there is no need for compression, change 9 to 0. Also
see "man zip" for details.

There should be a TAR.EXE program, at least it existed as
an addition to DOS. I'm not sure this exists for "Windows",
or if you need some additional program for that.
