Oh, it's more than possible.

1) Install poudriere, minimal configuration if you have ZFS, bit more if
you use UFS
2) # poudriere ports -c   # creates ports tree for build env
3) # poudirere jail -c -j your_buildjail_name -a arch -v X.X-RELEASE   #
creates your build jail for your release+architecture
4) put your /etc/make.conf in
/usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/your_buildjail_name-make.conf
5) copy your /var/db/ports (port options) to
/usr/local/etc/poudirere.d/your_buildjail_name-options/
6) poudriere bulk -j your_buildjail_name -f list_of_ports.txt

wait a bit as it builds all your packages in a cleanroom environment

7) configure /usr/local/etc/pkg.conf to point to these packages
(file://usr/local/poudriere/data/packages/your_buildjail_name-default/)
8) pkg update
9) pkg upgrade

that will probably fix you up, but there might be a small dragon or two
