Writing a portfile for a single script

Hi list,

I'm looking for advice / best practices for bypassing the extract
phase when writing a portfile for a script (and hence it's not a
tarball). One idea I had was something like the following,

{{{
distname            ${name}
extract.suffix
use_configure       no

extract             {}
build               {}
}}}

Another option would be to wrap the script in a tarball and host that
somewhere? Thanks in advance for any tips!
