Shawn,

It looks like there is a separate tarball.  This is the download sirte for
the freebsd port.  http://x3270.bgp.nu/download/  It may be as simple as
cloning the x3270 port and changing the port name, download file, and
checksum.  The documentation is kind of a mess right now because it is
under development.  But here it is:

You can make a "local portfile repository" as shown in the docs, copy the
x3270 portfile and modify it for c3270.  If you can tell us how it
installs manually, we can help you along if you want to try it.  It is
probably very easy.
