The ports tree is full of fpc-* ( fpc parts and units are separately
prepared as packages ) and Lazarus and its some parts .
Therefore , you may imitate these ports by using them as samples .
In
http://www.freshports.org/
search
fpc
lazarus
and see found parts for how they can be build from the sources .
Thank you very much .
