That's not possible! You cannot redistribute WO libs. But you could ask the user to generate the .tgz with the script made by Aurelien and put it somewhere on the file system, and the ports installer would pick that up.
The FreeBSD ports system doesn't work that way. A port and a package are two different things. A package is (as you describe) a self contained 'installer'. A port is simply a set of scripts and patches which install files into the correct locations, adjust permissions, install dependencies, etc. A port will pick up the install files from a public ftp/http site (such as a location from Apple's site) or will prompt the user to download the files to the correct place before proceeding (as has been the case for Java until now due to the need to agree to Sun's license).
