This isn't really a safe thing to do, as the ports are pretty tightly
coupled with the make include files in /usr/ports/Mk.

However, the easy way to get a single port is just ftp it from <URL:
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/ports-stable/ >. You don't
even need to put it in the ports tree - you can build it wherever you
feel like installing it.
