So go to ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/comms and say
'get rzsz.tar.gz' and 'get kermit.tar.gz', and then make a dummy ports 
tree :

# cd /usr
# mkdir ports
# mkdir ports/distfiles
# mkdir ports/comms
# cd /usr/ports/comms
# tar xvzf <kermit and rzsz portfiles>

and then go in and build them.  All the other support for the ports structure
is in /usr/share/mk/bsd.port.mk and friends.
