If you are interested in packaging the master/HEAD and/or a package
that has no source distributions the best way is to use
wip/mk/git-package.mk. You can find various example on pkgsrc-wip but
it's pretty straight-forward to use, e.g. wip/mpv-git:

 GIT_REPOSITORIES=	mpv
 GIT_REPO.mpv=		git://github.com/mpv-player/mpv.git

..and before "mk/bsd.pkg.mk" at the end please always remember to...

 .include "../../wip/mk/git-package.mk"

If you are looking for more information please give a look directly to
the "../../wip/mk/git-package.mk" file.


HTH!
Ciao,
