There is already one port for an old version of pkt-gen:
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/net/pkt-gen/

And here is a custom port's patch to upgrade this port to a not-so-old
version including a quick&dirty range bug fix (cleaner version
fresh-from-today official netmap github), and adding a new option to
prevent doing software IP & UDP checksum by default (because it consumes a
lot of ressource on 40G or 100G NIC and Chelsio NIC are able to do hardware
checksum in netmap mode):
