It's not clear to me how to generate a portsnap snapshot and package it. 
I think it would be useful for this to happen, however: if anyone can

I also disagree strongly with the rest of this bug, which has already 
been closed once. Most users will want ports -- having it checked by 
default is entirely sensible.
