DragonflyBSD port procedure

[Sayed Mohammad Badiezadegan]

But why did I install htop on my DragonflyBSD with no problem?

I installed htop version 3.5.0, but your log files are for 3.4.0, due to my
attached screenshot.

Is there any step-by-step tutorial (like I said) for porting any software
to DragonflyBSD?
