Why not:

gunzip ports.tgz
tar --delete -f ports.tar  ports/chinese ports/german \
   ports/japanese ports/korean ports/russian ports/vietnamese
gzip ports.tar
mv ports.tar.gz ports.tgz
sh install.sh

Consider other branches that are not wanted.  Mine is quite a bit smaller.

-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  8988928 Mar 15 03:06 ../4.0-RELEASE/ports/ports.tgz
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  3746280 Mar 20 18:53 ports.tgz

Use my sup/*/refuse files to trim out what I don't want after pulling out 
the categories that I don't want.  Still takes about 12 minutes, but gave 
up well over a year ago on using the whole damn thing.  More to trim out, 
but haven't got around to that yet.

Still would like to set it broken into categories rather than lumped.
More friendly, less filling.
