Or use CTM by ftp:
go to <ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/development/CTM/ports-cur/>,
download the latest `Empty' delta, download all deltas after it,
put them in /var/somewhere,
cd /usr/ports,
remove everything,
run

$ ctm /var/somewhere/*

maybe delete the deltas you downloaded, and whenever you want to update
your ports, download the next set of deltas, starting from the first one
you didn't download (/usr/ports/.ctm_status will tell you the last
applied delta) without the empty ones, of course, and re-run ctm.

This just saves you download time, as you don't have to download the
same unmodified files friom the collection, you just get the
differences.

This has a drawback of if you have fsck'd up your ports tree, you won't
be able to restore it unless you store all the deltas.
