Alternatively you can use svn or svnlite to synchronise your ports 
tree with the snapshot which was used for the packages currently in 
the repository. This is an advantage if you build some packages from 
ports since it ensures you don't get any dependency conflicts. This was 
recently  discussed in a thread in ports@ 
<https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2014-November/096804.html>.
A script for synchronising the ports tree for poudriere was posted in 
<https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2014-December/096833.html>.

I don't use poudriere so I've modified a copy of the script to 
synchronise /usr/ports instead of the poudriere jails.

The script works for 64 bit 10.x-RELEASE. For 8.x or 9,x you'll need 
to change the value of JAIL.

If you're using 32 bit I think you'll need to change SERVER to 
beefy1.isc.freebsd.org as well as changing JAIL but there appears to 
be a problem with the website at the moment so I can't check.
