Just pull the ports as you need them from ftp.freebsd.org using the 
automatic archive feature:

cd /pub/FreeBSD/ports/blah
get directory.tar.gz

Then unpack on your local system, enter the directory, and type 'make'.  

I suppose you could pull the whole thing if you wanted to wait (and 
somehow NOT get distfiles).
