That did not work. But this did work

  svn co svn://svn.freebsd.org/ports/head /usr/ports --depth files
  svn co svn://svn.freebsd.org/ports/head/Mk /usr/ports/Mk
  svn co svn://svn.freebsd.org/ports/head/Templates /usr/ports/Templates
  svn co svn://svn.freebsd.org/ports/head/Tools /usr/ports/Tools
