Have you read the handbook?

Subversion Method

If more control over the ports tree is needed (for example, for
maintaining local changes), Subversion can be used to obtain the Ports
Collection. Refer to the Subversion Primer for a detailed description of
Subversion.

    Subversion must be installed before it can be used to check out the
ports tree. If a copy of the ports tree is already present, install
Subversion like this:

    # cd /usr/ports/devel/subversion
    # make install clean

    If the ports tree is not available, Subversion can be installed as a
package:

    # pkg_add -r subversion

    If pkgng is being used to manage packages, Subversion can be
installed with it instead:

    # pkg install subversion

    Check out a copy of the ports tree. Use a specific Subversion mirror
close to your geographic location instead of svn.FreeBSD.org in the
command below for better performance. Committers should read the
Subversion Primer first to be sure the correct protocol is chosen.

    # svn checkout svn://svn.FreeBSD.org/ports/head /usr/ports

    To update /usr/ports after the initial Subversion checkout:

    # svn update /usr/ports

That should help with base.
