Adrian,
Use /usr/ports/net/cvsup-without-gui and create a cvsupfile. You can
then selectively install src-all, src-contrib, ports-all and any of the
various ports sub-trees that you need (but stick with ports-all).
cvsup will get the proper Makefiles and whatnot for you.
Email me if you need help setting that up.

I would recommend using csup instead of cvsup.
It has fewer dependencies, is very lightweight and works very well
if you just want to occasionally checkout ports or src.
I believe that csup is also part of the basesystem in newer releases.

OMG!
I totally missed csup. Thanks for the tip!
You might look into portsnap. I find it much easier and faster to use than
c[v]sup:

UNIX is user-friendly. It's just a bit picky about who its friends are.
