Yes, ports work well. From the description, it's difficult to tell what is causing the problem. Please supply additional information, like what version of FreeBSD and the exact output of one of the errors (script(1) is useful for that). Also see the section in the Handbook about packages and ports: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports.html Translations of the Handbook can be found at ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/doc/ in the books subdirectory.
