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.
