That's weired - I was thinking about the same thing just two days ago
and came up with something like this:

mkdir /usr/ports/mystuff
# That's a reserved category name, specially for such things

mkdir /usr/ports/mystuff/mysoft
# Name this folder anyway you like

Create the Makefile in /usr/ports/mystuff/mysoft

# Start
COMMENT=                "my software"
DISTNAME=               mysoft-dummy
MASTER_SITES=           http://smagin.com/
WRKDIST=                ${WRKDIR}

CATEGORIES=             mystuff
NEED_VERSION=           1.500

PERMIT_PACKAGE_CDROM=   No
PERMIT_PACKAGE_FTP=     No
PERMIT_DISTFILES_CDROM= No
PERMIT_DISTFILES_FTP=   No

NO_REGRESS=             Yes
NO_BUILD=               Yes

BUILD_DEPENDS=  \
::net/samba/stable \
::sysutils/apc-upsd \
::net/ntp \
::mail/poppassd \
::mail/courier-imap \
:mysql-client-*:databases/mysql \
:mysql-server-*:databases/mysql \
::databases/p5-DBD-Msql-Mysql \
::net/wget \
::www/php4,imap,no_x11 \
::net/cvsup,no_x11     

.include <bsd.port.mk>
# End

Now, if you do 'make && make clean' in that folder, you will get all the
packages listed as dependencies installed automatically. Note the php
flavors, samba stable branch and mysql multi packages.

You might want to use your own MASTER_SITES to fetch some small dummy
tar.gz file though.

I don't know how to get around the fetch stage - any ideas? Comments?
