This is where you get into the fun of assp not working in the standard
'configure;make;make install' steps.  Since it doesn't have a configure
script, you'll need:

use_configure no

Then, since it doesn't have a build step (I'm guessing since it looks like
just scripts):

build {}

so nothing happens there.  Finally, you do the 'install' in the destroot
phase:

destroot {
   ...
}

What goes in there of course depends on how you actually install this port;
since you've done this by hand you should have a pretty good idea.  Though
note everything should go into things starting with ${destroot}${prefix} as
that is a staging area, so port can then scan it to find all files to
install.

For a manual install, see as an example the destroot phase of

<http://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/dports/math/ent/Portfile>

to at least get you started.  If you have to install a number of files
matching various patterns, see the last part of the post-destroot phase in

<http://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/dports/archivers/lzo2/Portfile>

which uses glob to match multiple files.
