Do you have the Ports collection installed?  You do not need all
of it, just the base parts - /usr/ports/Mk/ and /usr/ports/Tools.

You can obtain it by running 'cvsup' with the sample config file
in /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile - you'll need to change
the name of the CVSup server to use, and if you do not want
the whole Ports collection, you can comment out the 'ports-all'
line, and uncomment the 'ports-base' line instead.

G'luck,
Peter
