Not sure what went wrong there, since you've clearly got parts of it. There are a number of ways of rectifying that, but I recommend just running the following: # portsnap fetch extract Then you should be able to build sudo and any other ports you want. See: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports-using.htm= l for the full story on getting and maintaining a current copy of the ports tree.
