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
