What (I think) you want to do is: pkg_add -r javavmwrapper-1.4 # Fetch remotely along with dependencies pkg_add -r urwfonts-1.0 # same as above but the other package pkg_add jdk-1.4.2p6_4.tgz # install from local copy That way you don't have to worry about fetching all the dependencies for the stuff you fetch remotely. > So I installed > portupgrade, but it wants to rebuild the whole thing over again from the > Sun sources and patches.

You can tell portupgrade to prefer packages to ports (but I forget the specific command line). See the man page for portupgrade if you want to try this. I don't really like portupgrade. It seams to destablalize my system too much. I prefer cvssup and packages/ports.
