FreeCAD installs several of its own python scripts, as found in this CMakeLists file:

fc_copy_to_mod_path("TemplatePyMod" 
	InitGui.py
	Init.py
	Commands.py
	PythonQt.py
	Tests.py
	DocumentObject.py
)

INSTALL(
    FILES
        Init.py
        InitGui.py
        Commands.py
        FeaturePython.py
        PythonQt.py
        Tests.py
    DESTINATION
        Mod/TemplatePyMod
)

Can you give me an example of a Portfile that is set up properly for this?

BTW, I'm told that FreeCAD has moved from PyQt4 to PySide due to license issues. So, shiboken and PySide are required now, as well as Pivy. I'll have to make portfiles for them.
