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.
