Easiest way to understand what I mean is to compare the official download at
https://downloads.joomla.org/cms/joomla3/3-8-7/Joomla_3-8-7-Stable-Full_Package.zip?format=zip
(42MB unzipped)

with the distfile from ports
joomla-joomla-cms-3.8.7_GH0.tar.gz (71MB unpacked)

I never worked with the ports system so patching it for me would be too
much. However, if you do not have the time I may know someone here that
could do it.

Again, I think the port in its current state is designed for people who
develop Joomla, not using it as a CMS like me.

Thanks,
