I see what your saying and i suppose I have two points:
1) Can you install a port without installing the ports tree?
Yes, or sort of. You need things like the ports Makefiles in /usr/ports/Mk, but if you copy, say, archivers/gtar to /tmp/gtar and then deleted /usr/ports/archivers and the other categories, you could still build the gtar port by itself. Modulo dependencies.
Frankly, if 300MB of disk space is an issue, using binary packages instead or else build your ports on another machine and create your own packages is probably the way to go. "make package-recursive"...
2) If you must install the ports tree, what is the best way to keep it up to date?
cvsup.
I am still new at this, and can't seem to find packages for all the ports in the tree...
Where did you look, and what is missing?
