There's a split up tar-ball of the ports tree created for each release, which is what you download when you say 'install the ports' from within sysinstall. On the whole though, grabbing an up to date copy on a connected machine via cvsup(1) would be your best bet. Generating a CD Rom containing those files shouldn't be too difficult: there are all sorts of ways of doing it, but start out by looking at the sysutils/cdrtool port as an example. Note that the ports tree isn't much use on it's own on an isolated machine: you will need to include all of the distfiles for any port you want to build, and for all dependencies of that port. You can obtain those by running: # make fetch-recursive in the appropriate port directory, or there are ways of using the '-F' flag to portinstall to do the equivalent. Alternatively, build packages (including any dependencies) on your well-connected machine to install on the other one -- there's a 'package-recursive' make target you can use for that. If the problem is that the well-connected machine you have isn't actually a FreeBSD box, then you can grab: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/ports/ports.tar.gz That is a snapshot of the ports tree recreated at frequent intervals -- see the README.TXT file in the same directory. But you still need to solve the problem of grabbing all of the distfiles for anything you want to install.
