So I haven't followed all of this thread fellars but I'll throw in that portsnap makes FreeBSD 6 ports, which was
already a great thing, one step even easier to use.

http://www.daemonology.net/portsnap/

"Portsnap is a system for securely downloading and updating a compressed snapshot of the FreeBSD ports tree, and using this compressed snapshot to extract or update a (uncompressed) copy of the ports tree. Historically, most people have used CVSup to keep their ports tree up to date, but CVSup has a number of limitations:"

If you have the ports tree, build and install cvsup-without-gui from
the port.

Done.

Good, next cut the following out of this message and
paste it into your text editor and save it as 'ports':


*default host=cvsup6.freebsd.org
*default base=/usr
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=.
*default delete use-rel-suffix
ports-all


This will update the ports tree at /usr/ports

If that location is ok with you, update with:

cvsup ports
