I've done it about 1 year ago.
It is working very good.
When I encounter a problem with upgrading ports, I can rollback to old one by swapping a partition.

I put everything under /ports partition and use mount_nullfs.
Here is how it looks like:

% df | grep port
/dev/ad3s1e          5583486   3841966 1294842    75%    /ports
/ports/db/pkg        5583486   3841966 1294842    75%    /var/db/pkg
/ports/X11R6         5583486   3841966 1294842    75%    /usr/X11R6
/ports/local         5583486   3841966 1294842    75%    /usr/local
/ports/compat        5583486   3841966 1294842    75%    /usr/compat
/dev/md0.uzip         886686    391416  424336    48%    /usr/ports
