My lord.. now I see what everyone means in terms of taking a long
time to update the ports / package databases. If you use portsnap, it doesn't
take a long time. However, if you use csup/cvsup, it appears to take a long
time running make and ruby (primarily disk I/O), to update all of the
databases. It took approximately 3-5 minutes to complete on a P4 3.0 GHz, so
I'd hate to see how long it takes to finish on a slower machine =\...
Maybe this is where Stephen's revisions to pkg_add and bsd.ports.mk
would come in handy.

I would love to help, but I'm a plain vanilla "make install" person, and I
haven't yet learned all these fancy programs like portinstall.
What specific program are you refering to that takes so long to execute?
Assume that I have no experience with using these tools. Then I will see
if I can make that faster too. (But my first guess is that I won't be
able to.)
