Is there any way I can force it to fetch packages when they exist and
distfiles for ports if a package doesn't exist?

So in summary I have a list of applications I would like to install on
a machine not connected to a network.  I am looking for the easiest
method of fetching the packages from a server and putting them on CDs
so I can move them to the stand-alone machine.  For the one or two
apps I use that don't have packages I would like to fetch all the
necesary distfiles to be able to install those few apps from ports.
