The ports(7) manpage is a good start and it also includes a link to the
relevant Handbook section. You can get a fair amount of information
about the Ports (what they are, how it all works, etc.) by running:
% man 7 ports

Well, there's an old saying that no question is a stupid question. You
can speed things up a lot though by looking for "keywords" that match
what you want to do in the archives of this list. Most of the questions
one finds himself wanting to ask when they start working with FreeBSD
have already been answered; repeatedly too :)
