Novice users are strongly encouraged to use packages and not to build ports. Learn the system first, then you can play around with ports and disk partitioning, etc. Sounds like a pain in the butt, but BSD is great in that there is a relativly strong seperation of system vs user files so it's very simple to backup the stuff you've changed, reinstall from scratch, and reapply your changes.
