At least for Linux no porting is necessary. The creation was as easy as

mkdir mpeg2
cd mpeg2
unzip ../mpeg2v12.zip
make

After that I modified the file "PAL.par" to suit my need, i.e. I have 
changed name, format and size of input images and the display size.
With "mpeg2encode myPAL.par test.m2p" I have generated my film.

That's all.
