Anyone interested in doing this might be interested in an earlier post I made <https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2015-January/263372.html>; or <http://preview.tinyurl.com/p6tjto2>; where I included a short script for automating this process derived from an earlier script posted by Reed A. Cartwright. To use this script you will need the textproc/jq package. Since posting the script I noticed that, unlike portsnap, svnlite doesn't update INDEX but it's a trivial matter to add an extra line to run "make -C /usr/ports fetchindex". -- Mike Clarke
