It is better to use poudriere (installed from ports) where you can 
create the list of ports you want to build (why would you want to build 
everything?), then you run poudrier bulk and on target system disable 
official FreeBSD repository and add yours.

I am using poudriere for a long time to build all packages needed on our 
servers. It is very helpful tool.
