If you've built and installed bind97 already on one machine, you can
create a pkg tarball easily:
# pkg_create -b bind97-9.7.1.2
Assuming the machines are the same FreeBSD major version and have the
same CPU architecture specified in /etc/make.conf and that they have the
appropriate versions of all the dependencies already installed.
Or just use:
# pkg_create -R -b bind97-9.7.1.2
to create pkg tarballs of bind97 and everything it depends on.
If you haven't built and installed anything yet, try:
# cd /usr/ports/dns/bind97
# make package
or
# make package-recursive
Generic package taballs should be available on the servers eventually --
keep checking in the 'Latest' directory
