"make install" is not the same as "pkg_add' ?

Hello everbody.

I'm using OpenBSD since version 3.1 (or so) usually for servers and my
firewalls.
Getting my IBM X40 and I installed OpenBSD 3.9 and started to build
the packages I need
from /usr/ports. Everything works as expected (means without any problem ;)

But after installing xmms from /usr/ports/audio/xmms/ I discovered that xmms was
not able to play MP3 and OGG files. After some hours of searching and
looking around
I found a package named xmms-mp3-*(and xmms-vorbis) in
/usr/ports/packages/i386/all/.

So I run pkg_add /usr/ports/packages/i386/all/xmms-mp3-1.2.10p6.tgz.

After this pkg_add xmms was able to play MP3 files.

All the years I believed that "make install" will do the same as a pkg_add.
Now I am real confused ;)

Am I missing something? Is this a bug or does it work as expected?

Many thanks in advance.

Andreas.
