The precise revision number used for pkg builds isn't published, so no
it's not possible to synchronise exactly.

However, what you can do is download the appropriate quarterly branch of
the ports.  At the moment that's something like:

   svn co https://svn.freebsd.org/ports/branches/2017Q1 /usr/ports

This is the branch that the official packages are built from, and it
changes a lot more slowly than HEAD, so your chances of running into
version conflicts are much reduced.

You will have to remember to 'svn switch' to each new quarterly branch,
but that's only four times a year.

	Cheers,

	Matthew
