Well, I'd be guessing ... never bothered to buy
a set.  Ought to, to support the project, I guess....

What's on 'em?  Is it a list kinda like this?

foo-1.1.tar.gz
bar-2.5.4.tar.bz2
..........................
..........................

Then it's source for ports, as someone
else mentioned...copy 'em to /usr/ports/distfiles
and see if it makes life easier when building
in /usr/ports/path/to/whatever....

HTH,
