I thought of another advantage of this approach: You can upgrade
existing ports on your system (but not add new ones) by doing
an "rm -rf /usr/ports/buildenv". Next time you build a port the
latest version of the build environment, supplementary makefiles,
patches, distfile locations, etc can be sucked over from ftp.freebsd.org
