I've noticed a link on the http://www.freebsd.org/ports/ that allows to you to download the whole tree (ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/ports.tar.gz), although I haven't tried this route. I usually use cvsup. If you need info on cvsup, see http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook273.html#cvsup. If you do choose cvsup, you may want to make use of the example ports-supfile under /usr/share/examples/cvsup. It's a good idea to edit the file and have cvsup connect to cvsup2.freebsd.org or cvsup3.freebsd.org instead of the default `cvsup.freebsd.org', as cvsup.freebsd.org is often heavily loaded.
