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).
