I have spent some time trying to build py-torch on NetBSD, though it's

have been attempts to build a port, apparently from the mailing lists.

As alternatives I am thinking about py-dlib or py-keras, for which FreeBSD
ports are available which can help.

Is there any methodic way, if not tool, to adopt a FreeBSD port to pkgsrc?

I think most of the times - except possibly helping about dependencies,
build flags or patches - looking at FreeBSD ports or any other package
systems is not very helpful and it is better to start from scratch by
trying to follow possible upstream build and packaging instructions (if
any!).

(There is port2pkg that could be interesting but for sure for anything
non-trivial will probably need manual inspection and review.)

See wip/fbsd2pkg.
