Yes. That's the thing about ports: they're already set up to do
whatever is necessary to get the software installed.

Yes.

No --- those instructions are for installing on Linux, and need to be
modified to make things work on FreeBSD. Plus installing from ports
will ensure that all pre-requisites get installed first, although I
think you said earlier that you've already got the Linux emulation
stuff, so that should be a no-op.
