  I can't uderstood you problem.

  do you have /usr/ports directory structure on you FreeBSD ?

 if yes, all must work.
 if yes, but it not working --- you ports.tgz was corrupted.
 if not, or if you don't know how untar all ports:

     cd /usr/
     tar -tzs ports.tgz
      (check, if you have ports/category/prog/Makefile ... )
     cd to apropriative place.
     tar -xzf ports.tgz.
