Try using "make fetch-recursive" from a port's directory to fetch the source 
tarballs for that port and it's dependencies.  Note that you can also create 
packages from the installed ports and copy those over to another machine, and 
install them directly rather than recompiling everything.

[ Start with a "mkdir /usr/ports/packages", and the ports system will create 
package tarballs automaticly under there... ]
