I believe 'portdowngrade' is the canonical way.  However, I *always* 
have trouble with the servers for some reason.

Last time I did a portdowngrade I used the following (mind the wrap):
     portdowngrade -o 
-s:pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.at.FreeBSD.org:/home/ncvs <port-name>

Then enter any password.
