With a kernel build, I was able to build OpenAFS. First experience:

afsd was complaining about /usr/local/etc/openafs/cacheinfo missing. 
After I copied that from a Linux OpenAFS install (and modified it to 
something suitable), I was able to start afsd, but /afs was missing. 
Creating that and starting afsd again locked the machine completely (for 
some reason, fsck on reboot took very long even though I got 
journaling). Having rebooted, I was able to start afsd and browse to 
some public afs directory -- 'ls' took quite some time, but eventually, 
I was able to list that directory.

About the port: pkg-plist differs quite a bit from what actually got 
installed. I will try to create "my pkg-plist" later.

I will to more testing tomorrow -- especially with Kerberos.

Thanks for your help!
