All you have to do is download the directory of the port you want (on ftp.freebsd.org you can do `get <directory>.tar.gz' and get it as a tarball). Expand on your machine, and type "make all install" and enjoy. It will pull the source file automatically. If it has trouble, mkdir /usr/ports/distfiles and put the file in question in there.
