I don't think I quite understand your question, which is not too
surprising since I know almost nothing about ports and packages.  I do
want to make sure you get a response from someone who knows about these
things; I've added one such person to the CC list.

One thing that confuses me about your question is the reference to the
ftp repository... I don' think there are any arm packages being built
and distributed by the FreeBSD project right now.  Are you trying to set
up your own local repository, or connect to a private one somewhere?
