 Hello,
 
Because you appear unable to pull ports in the normal
manner (firewall issue?), you may have no choice but
to download the four (five?) iso images of the ports
collection and burn them to cd. Then when you do
"make install clean" you can be sure have all the
dependancies.
Two questions: Why are you doing a FBSD project on
Linux in the first place? Does Bill know you're
consorting with the enemy?
 
 HTH,
