I can't uderstood you problem.
do you have /usr/ports directory structure on you FreeBSD ?
if yes, all must work.
if yes, but it not working --- you ports.tgz was corrupted.
if not, or if you don't know how untar all ports:
cd /usr/
tar -tzs ports.tgz
(check, if you have ports/category/prog/Makefile ... )
cd to apropriative place.
tar -xzf ports.tgz.
