Install /usr/ports/sysutils/cdrecord. Its mkisofs may be more current 
than the one in /usr/ports/sysutils/mkisofs. In any case you'll need 
cdrecord to move the image to CD-R.

While the 4-CD set is handy, I usually prefer a single home made custom
CD with The Things I Want. Upgraded from a 2G to 9G HD so I'd have 
enough room for a local CVS copy and to be able to
"cd /usr/src; make buildworld && ( cd release; make release )"
