Try using pkg_fetch(1) to download the binary packages.  Eg. to
download the packages required to install, say, mozilla and all of the
dependencies required before you can install mozilla:

    # pkg_fetch -Rf mozilla@

The packages will be saved in /usr/ports/packages by default, and you
can use pkg_add(1) to install them from there.

pkg_fetch(1) is part of the portupgrade suite of tools, which you will
need to install from ports/packages.
