You need to install the Ports Collection itself first.  If you have a CD
with your FreeBSD distribution, you can do that from /stand/sysinstall -
just tell it to install the 'ports' distribution.

Another way - and the best way to get the newest Ports collection - is to
use CVSup.  Use the /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile, and look at:

  http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO_8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html

for more information on using CVSup.  You may only need to install
the ports-base collection to build a single port, but it is always nice
to have the whole Ports collection (ports-all) at hand :)

Hope that helps.

G'luck,
Peter
