UPDATE:
OTOH I can svn it independently to elsewhere than ports, any canonical
way
to move that /tmp/archivers to /usr/ports/archivers ?
DONE:
moved that /tmp/archivers to /usr/ports/archivers, strangely I did not
find its
.svn after the move.
Multiple partial checkouts is not the same as one big checkout. The
.svn directory only exists in the base directory of the checkout.
Back up /usr/ports (for local changes), delete the entire directory,
then check out the entire directory.

Done.
Unfortunately I forgot to relocate /packages/ and /distfiles/ first, so
they have been restored from yesterday's backup.
Also there is an INDEX-9.move_distfiles (zero length file) for the next
time, as a reminder, as I'd move INDEX* out of the way first.

Packages and distfiles are cache directories to save on network bandwidth.
If your internet is not very slow or on a data limit then it is harmless
to delete their content. The files will get downloaded when they are
needed again.
You sound to me like you moved the content of /usr/ports to another place
per file or per directory.
I hope you did something like this.
mv /usr/ports /usr/ports-old
svn checkout svn+ssh://svn.freebsd.org/ports/head /usr/ports
This will restore a complete and consistent ports directory. And you don't
need the reminders, etc.
Regards,
Ronald.
