Unless you plan to use svn commands other than checkout in your ports
tree, I would suggest switching to "svn export" or perhaps the
svn-export script (http://xyne.archlinux.ca/projects/svn-export/) to
fetch your ports tree.

The export command will not create the .svn metadata directory and
will save on inode usage.  Of course, you could also create a new
virtual disk for /usr/ports and tune it with more inodes if you'd
rather use svn checkout.

It should be added that a stock svn export will download the entire ports tree each time rather than just the diffs.

svn-export from above looks interesting, with the ability to get just updates. No port yet, though.
