Is there a way to build only the port from source, and install dependencies from packages with the make command?

I do this every new release.

I build the ports tree with just the ports I want to compile and just 
the ports tree items required to perform the real compile. All those 
massive ports files are not contained in my ports tree.

make missing   on the port I want to compile to get dependencies
them pkg install for each dependence followed by the ports compile of 
the  selected port
