Can anyone tell me, why the ports are delivered this way ? Why will they
not just delivered as fully .tar.gz ? I hate to do a make and the port
can't get all sources because the line's dead or too slow etc.

Maybe there is a source for all ports which are making out of the
box even on a non-networked machine, but I don't know where to find the
stuff. As long as the ports-situation is that bad (maybe there are people
who like it that way, maybe it's easier for them, I really hate this),
I'm trying to get the source and compile by myself. This saves a lot
of time which would be spent by waiting to get the real sources from
freebsd.org after doing a make.

Bye,
	Udo
