Using poudriere to build your own repo is *very* easy and lets you build only the packages you need (so is quicker than waiting the four-ish days that the main repository takes to build everything), with the options you want. It will probably take a day or two at most, depending on how many packages you need, which has to be better than "not working for weeks".
