I would suggest that you don't use ports :)
If you want it all ready to go then build all the packages you want and =
add then in a script.
Alternatively you can do what I do, and create a chroot, build all the =
ports you want, then tar it up and splat it onto the destination disk =
after a minimal install.
That way you can tweak to your hearts content and it is considerably =
faster than pkg_add.
