I wouldn't necessarily say it was by hand, but I've been doing things  
the embarrassing way (not precise as I'm winging this right now, but  
it gives you the idea how i've been abusing port):

port destroot `port installed | grep -v following | awk '{print $1}' |  
sort -u | tr "\n" " +universal "`

Later to be run with 'pkg' and finally into an 'mpkg pspp' (this was  
what I was doing prior to 1.7.0 to make a binary installer for PSPP as  
there were errors if you didn't walk ports through destroot, pkg, mpkg).

I periodically find myself still using the other utilities, likely to  
come up with the pseudo-ports that I'm unfamiliar with.
