I'm not familiar with the flightgear and latex ports, but it appears
that latex is structured with a base port and a number of ports for
add-ons.  Have a look at the output of "ls -ld
/usr/ports/print/latex-*", and you'll see the add-on ports.

If you can break the flightgear airplanes (or subsets of airplanes) into
a number of add-on ports, that would be one way to avoid the huge
download problem, as well as an excessive number of OPTIONS in the base
port. Of course, the add-on port idea assumes that airplanes can be
downloaded individually in some fashion.

Hope that helps,
Greg
