I don't think that's quite what the question was asking. For updating a single port skeleton, the cvsweb interface ( http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ ) is probably the easiest way. In individual ports directories, it offers a link to get the whole directory as a tarball. E.g., for xmms, http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/multimedia/xmms/ and particularly http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/multimedia/xmms/xmms.tar.gz?tarball=1
