Kris addressed the rest of your questions, so I'll make a stab at just 
this part.

I think what you want to do is create packages for all of the 
dependencies of this particular package you care about, p.tgz.  You can 
do this by doing a "make package-recursive" when building the original 
port, or you can use "portupgrade -rp" (or -frp) to have that tool 
build all of the packages which depend on the particular package you 
care about.

This will generate pkg tarballs under /usr/ports/packages/All (and 
various symlinks), which you can then copy or fileshare to another 
machine.  Use portupgrade's -PP option to when installing, which should 
satisfy missing dependencies.

If this doesn't help, please show us what you're trying to do and what 
the error messages are.  :-)
