Well, from one newb to another,
I recently just did something similar to what you want but I only used 
the Handbook (@ freebsd.org).  I installed using the 5.4 cd, and 
selected the "minimal" option when it asked me waht i wanted to 
install.  then i installed cvsup-without-gui and updated the source 
using the tag, RELENG_5_4. tehn rebuilt world and kernel.  then you can 
cvsup the ports and intall what you want.

hope this helps a little, i found it to work quite well
