CVSup the system and ports trees and transfer it to your system(s). Or,
better, replicate the entire CVS repository to a removable disk and
cvsup the system and ports (you'll need the port net/cvsup-without-gui)
=66rom that disk via local cvsupd daemon.
Then rebuild the system in a usual way (cd /usr/src; make buildworld;
make kernel; [possibly reboot to single user]; mergemaster -p; make
installworld; mergemaster; reboot). Note that this can be painful,
especially for the first time ;)) Always read /usr/src/UPDATING and
be careful.
And use ports-mgmt/portupgrade to update all your ports. Perhaps
the sources for some ports should be fetched manually, becase there
are some ports with all distribution sites being the FTP ones.
