Add to your .cshrc for root
setenv PACKAGESITE 
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5-stable/Latest/

That is all one line but kmail is folding it. Also, the 5.5-release is 
at
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5.5-release/Latest/

I didn't check to see which set of packages are more recent. I leave 
that to you to do. It is the kind of process you need to be aware of 
and use the most recent set of builds. Once the 5.5-release is 
finished, the stable set will provide the set closest to what you will 
find after cvsuping ports-all.
