If the port is allready installed try: pkg_create -b {name of installed port as listed under /var/db/pkg}
cool, thanks
and what if i don't want it installed on this machine? if i just want to build it here for use elsewhere?
You could set up a jail and chroot into that before building the port, if you really want to keep your base system untouched. The pointyhat cluster used to build packages for the FTP servers does roughly this in order to provide a clean environment for testing.

Let me know if you have any questions regarding setup, This should suit you nicely, as it will build most any port without root accessm within a chroot type environment.
