Look at
  http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook28.html

 # cd /usr/ports
 # ftp ftp.freebsd.org
 [log in as `ftp' and give your email address when asked for a
 password. Remember to use binary (also known as image) mode!]
 > cd /pub/FreeBSD/ports
 > get databases.tar            [tars up the databases directory for us]
 > quit
 # tar xf databases.tar         [extract all the database skeletons]
 # cd databases
 # make install                 [build and install all the database ports]

I think you can do this at /pub/FreeBSD and 'get ports.tar', but, read
the handbook FIRST!
