It would help you if you installed the ports tree and portupgrade (and cvsup it every day via cron to keep it up-to-date). If you did that, you would bave been able to do like I have just done:
But I figured that if I always pull the index from an FTP site, it's guaranteed to be up to date. Isn't that true? I'm never going to install more than a small fraction of the ports, so putting the entire tree on my site seems wasteful, especially if I have to constantly update it. I do have the tree on my production server, but only because I had a lot more disk space to play with.
There is a port called porteasy that you could use to grab only what you want from the port tree. Not used it myself before but I have seen a few people mention it. You should be aware though that by installing firefox you will be installing a lot of other ports that firefox depends on as well.
