Just grab base distribution and then add the ports/packages as you need them. The only reason there are ports on the 4th CD is because they spilled over fro the first one. If you are mastering your own CD, you can leave off the packages you do not need, and fill the space with other stuff like gnuplot. > By the way; what filesystem do I have to make the CD?

I think basic ISO 9660 should be good enough for the distribution files and the packages. The ports distfiles do have their orginal long names however, and would require RockRidge extensions. Keep in mind that the basic system can be installed from a DOS partition, so everything should have a 8.3 safe name.
