Personally I think for big programs it's easier to use the packages. It is 
avoiding a lot a compiling time. For small programs I prefer the ports, 
because it's saving time to find out where the package is.
Building X or KDE from the ports is not a nice experience. CVSup actually is 
not that bad.
