You need to install the Ports Collection itself first. If you have a CD with your FreeBSD distribution, you can do that from /stand/sysinstall - just tell it to install the 'ports' distribution. Another way - and the best way to get the newest Ports collection - is to use CVSup. Use the /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile, and look at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO_8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html for more information on using CVSup. You may only need to install the ports-base collection to build a single port, but it is always nice to have the whole Ports collection (ports-all) at hand :) Hope that helps.
