The handbook answer.. broken ports: fix-it, gripe or find our package
from a local mirror...
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports-broken.html

.. or 

build your own package w/ pkg_create
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=pkg_create&sektion=1&apropos=0&manpath=FreeBSD+5.3-RELEASE+and+Ports

what ports you are trying to build?

Sources vs. ports

[Madhusudan Singh]

 Since some of the ports I need are broken, I am thinking of installing those 
parts from source. However, is there a way to let the local ports hierarchy 
"know" that a certain package has been installed, albeit by other means ?

Thanks.
