Ports is a skeletal directory structure of makefiles, patch files,
table-of-contents files, etc. that use local tarballs if you have them, fetch
them if necessary, patch them for bug fixes and for *BSD porting needs,
configure, build, and install. They also de-install, clean, etc. If there
are unmet dependencies, the ports system handles them recursively. To keep
the skeletin up to date, occasionally, I run
cvsup -g cvs-ports
The cvs-ports file contains
*default host=cvsup10.FreeBSD.org
*default base=/usr
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs
*default delete use-rel-suffix
*default tag=.
ports-all
