The ports-tree is also a development tree, e.g. for the _packages_
that are included on the CD.
Use theese packages, if you are unable to use development stuff.

Packages _have been_ built (that's why they are included) and most of
them are tested for functionality by hundreds of users everyday.

I recommend reading the handbook and other FreeBSD resources.
