Yes, as long as you have internet connectivity. > What will be the main differences if I do so ? 'make index' builds the index locally, 'make fetchindex' gets the latest index from http://www.FreeBSD.org/ports/ > What are the risks ? It will fail if www.FreeBSD.org is unavailable. Looking at the ftp servers, the index file isn't mirrored. And the index file might be slightly out of sync with the ports you cvsupped from a mirror.
