Yes!  The reason I could never make it work is because of an 'error'
in the man page for newfs:

"Before running newfs the disk must be labeled using disklabel(8)"

Well, disklabel won't work on an extended/logical partition so I
never actually got as far as newfs until just now.  Turns out that
newfs works just great without a disklabel on a logical partition.

I just moved the entire ports collection to my brand new 8Gb ufs
partition and never went near growfs.

I'm very happy!
