While I am undoubtedly a Real Man [ pause, while I count the hairs on my
chest :-) ], you don't have to install everything by hand on FreeBSD.

If you want to compile it on your own system (which you might want to do
if you customised /etc/make.conf to build everything with different
optimisations) you would do

    # cd /usr/ports/textproc/docproj
    # make install

Alternatively, if you just want to install the binary packages, you can
use pkg_add(1).
