I'm not sure... I recommend looking at other existing ports. The php5  
port is a fairly big port with lots of dependencies to give you some  
ideas.

No. There is no /opt/local/games, nor should there be. Binaries go  
in /opt/local/bin.

Alternative: If this is a GUI application that is double-clicked to  
be started, then it should go in /Applications/MacPorts. See the  
neverball port for an example.
