If the app have been ported to FreeBSD, then it will be in the ports 
tree. In this example,

/usr/ports/net/honeyd

The "ports" Makefile for honeyd will list the dependencies required and 
will be automatically built from

/usr/ports/net/libnids and /usr/ports/devel/libevent

Portupgrade have to be installed, that's all. All mirrors for a 
particular app is already defined in the Makefile.
