Yep. ftp.freebsd.org supports on-the-fly tar-and-zipping, so just go
to the ports directory there and do

...

(Don't get distfiles.tar.gz or you'll have a very long wait!)

Then go to your own ports directory and do

# tar xzvf /where/you/down/loaded/it/archivers.tar.gz
...

and there you have it!
