Ok, then there are two steps for the start:

1) Where is the distfile ? Because the first step would be to
create a ports Makefile that downloads that distfile.

Is it this ?

https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=253472&clcid=0x409

2) Then, one has to dig into

https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/book.html

to get to a initial Makefile.

For this step: Install ports-mgmt/porttools and use

port create

Extra homework: Think about a nice name 8-}

Not to discount anything Kurt as already suggested
But I'd just like to throw in a couple of things that come to mind.
You can think of this as a short learning curve, or the highway to hell.
You decide.

1) With a brand new port; I have often found it makes it quicker to find a already existing port that closely resembles the one I'm attempting to create,
and either gut it, or simply replace the parts required.

2) Given it's the Python Azure SDK. I'd probably go with the following location:
https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-python
The opening page nearly creates the port for you. :)

well it may for you but for me it's all a learning curve where I need to discover the significance of every little thing.

thanks though..

every bit helps
