That should work fine, if what you are after are the .xml source files the documentation is compiled from. Note that compiling all this stuff into HTML or PDF requires a moderately large toolchain to be installed. (see: textproc/docproj* in ports.) Also, the URL doc/release/9.1.0/en_US.ISO8859-1 -- that's a tag in SVN, meaning it is never going to be updated. Check out HEAD if you want to be able to track changes. You always used to be able to install a pre-compiled doc bundle from the install media. What with changes over the last several months I don't know if that is still possible, but if it is, then that would probably be more suitable if all you want is to have a reference copy of the docs to hand.
