Here is a simple example:

NO_CONFIGURE=   # defined
NO_BUILD=       # defined
INSTALLATION_DIRS=	share/whatever man/man1  # directories needed
do-install:
	${INSTALL_DATA} ${WRKSRC}/somefile ${PREFIX}/share/whatever/
	${INSTALL_MAN} ${WRKSRC}/documentation/something.1 ${PREFIX}/man/man1/

Some use pax or cpio to copy if there are a lot of files.
