Hi Sean,

1. run the cvsup to update your port collection. 
(http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports-using.html)
The updated port should already contain patching information and will take 
care of the rest. So do not worry about dependencies.
If you prefer to do it manually:
1. run "make exctract".
2. run "make"
3. run "make install"

I hope this helps,
Regards,

bitHawk
