Yes. As soon as I tried building one of my backed experimental ports, it
starting crying out about not finding /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk. I downloaded
the port update and it was useless, I looked in the live system and the missing
file wasn't there either. I repeat this: I don't want to install the complete
ports collection, I just want to write some new ports.

I don't want to update it, I can download individual ports from the web.
