Recent versions of disks 3 and 4 from the standard FreeBSD CD set now
have pre-compiled packages on them -- recent meaning since about
FreeBSD 4.5 I think, rather than the ports tree and associated
distfiles. Thus running make in a port directory will fail to find
the source code on the CD, and so try to go out to the network to
download it.
What you have on CDs 3 and 4 of the standard set is essentially the
packages directories from the FreeBSD FTP site. If you go to the
directory with links to 'All' packages, you should be able to
pkg_add(1) what you need, although you may have to do a bit of disk
juggling if some of the dependency packages happen to be on the other
disk.
