Compiling may need little knowledge, but using port system to do that
must be simple. Automated builds is a purpose of port systems. Port
system has a preset for every software it knows, so it know how to build

If you want just offline docs, download "FFMpeg static build for linux"
https://johnvansickle.com/ffmpeg/builds/ffmpeg-git-64bit-static.tar.xz,
extract, and enjoy content of /manpages directory. Full equivalent of
man pages is there in pdf and txt.

No, there is more in man pages.
