I've never used sysinstall to grab the ports tree. I suspect that it's 
grabbing the ports tree for 4.5-RELEASE, which is several months old. I would 
try cvsup instead, which will grab the current ports tree.

You will need to copy over /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile to a work 
directory, then edit it to meet your needs, such is specifying a cvsup 
server. Then it's a simple matter of "cvsup ports-supfile".

You can use sysinstall, but you will need to change the Release Name under 
options. It would also be a good idea to get rid of your old ports tree first.

Anything that is unfamilar is difficult. But you really can't compare FreeBSD 
ports to the equivalent under Windows, because there is no equivalent.
