It contains all the binary package files (*.tgz) for the additional ports in the distrib that sysinstall offers to let you choose at install time. If you select additional ports for installation that are not part of the canned distribution sets (gnome, for example, or emacs), sysinstall will prompt you to change the disk when it needs those binary packages. I see it as a quick and safe way to get some of the most commonly used binaries installed on your system without downloading and building them from sources through the ports collection. But for some of the programs you may land up with a version slightly older than what you get by building from the sources. Only the most widely used ones out of the 14,000+ ports are available as binary packages on disk 2.
