I don't know how others handle this, but the following works for me:

# mkdir /root/bin
# ln -s `which svnlite` /root/bin/svn
# svn checkout https://svn0.eu.freebsd.org/ports/head /usr/ports

Note that I'm in Europe, there should be a list of geographically suitable
mirrors somewhere. And svn.freebsd.org itself works, too.

HTH,
