Depends on what you call official. From: http://www.freebsd.org/ports/index.html "However, the most convenient (and common) method is to download the framework for the entire list of ports by installing the entire ports hierarchy at FreeBSD installation time, and then have thousands of applications right at your fingertips." "entire ports hierarchy" links to: http://www.freebsd.org/ports/installing.html Which lets you download the entire tar.

If they no longer upgrade the entire ports collection tar any more, then they should simply remove it from their own pages.
However the page you refer to refers to how you may want to initially install the ports tree. It doesn't refer to keeping it current :) -- Please keep list traffic on the list.
