the ports "collection" could be considered part of the base. but the 
"ports collection" just consists of the makefiles, pkg* info, and the 
patches. the ported apps themselves would considered third-party IMO 
(for the most part, although if a local patch breaks something, that 
would be a freebsd help thing.)

also, you could consider the stuff in /usr/src/contrib and /usr/src/gnu 
to be "second-party". they're mostly developed outside of FreeBSD, but 
are "published" (distributed) as part of the base system. (sorta like 
how Rare Ltd. is a second party developer for Nintendo, to make an 
analogy. Rare does most of the development, but it's sold as a Nintendo 
game)
