The easiest way to change it would be to move the ports folder from /usr to where ever you are moving it... Then create a symbolic link... ln -s /somewhere/ports /usr/ports Then everything should work as is...

Will all the pkg tools such as portsnap, portupgrade, and portversion continue to function properly? will I have to edit any other config files before this will work seemlessly? -- What time is it?
