?? Where/How would I get that?

I'd love to get 1.1 installed on my FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE machine, but
I don't want to cvsup my ports tree because then I wouldn't be able to
install packages. I'd have to build everything from source.

Maybe I just don't understand how to use the ports tree 100% yet...
