I don't think there are official instructions for how to do that because it's not a procedure users are expected to need to do. You should just be able to "sudo port install" the port on the other system and if you can't then that's a bug we'd want to fix.

Perhaps because until very recently MacPorts installed the tbz2 files when you installed a port.
