I committed a new version of the portcheckout script.
From the README:
About portcheckout
------------------
The portcheckout(1) reads the /usr/ports/INDEX file and checks-out
a given port and its dependencies. This makes it easy to use the
ports system without having a full and up-to-date /usr/ports tree.
A typical use would be to connect to the Internet, possibly download
a new INDEX and ports upgrade kit, download a port skeleton with
portcheckout(1), and then build the port.
Revision history
----------------
The current version is 2.0 (Januar 2000)
Changes in portcheckout 2.0:
- Full support for anonymous CVS.
- New option --release=RELEASE to checkout a given
release, e.g.
perl portcheckout.pl --release=RELEASE_3_4_0 de-dict
- New option --index=indexfile to select a local ports INDEX file.
- New option --fetchonly
Fetch only the distfile of the ports and all depending ports. This
option is useful if you don't pay a flat rate for your Internet
connection.
- Improve manpage. Better english.

- Support substring search, e.g. `portcheckout ja-xfig'
- General code cleanup:
- better internal data structure
- better readable code
- more comments
- use strict perl module
