Not to beat a dead horse here, but it seems like maybe you/we want:

-A system for maintaining/manipulating package builds from source;

-A system for installing said binaries, wherever they came from, in a
 managed/manageable way.

Ports can be used this way (make package), but few take advantage of it,
because the tools for dealing with packages aren't really there;
pkg_add, pkg_delete, and now pkg_deinstall fighting with the latter.
