What I'd like to do is download all of the source for a package and all of its dependencies on my work machine, but *not* do any compiling on that machine (since I won't be using this at work anyway); then transfer the/opt directory tree to my home machine via the laptop and finish theprocess of compiling the software without having to spend days (and yes,it does take days!) downloading over the slow link.
If you just want the downloaded source, you can do 'port fetch' for the ports you are interested in and copy over ${prefix}/var/macports/ distfiles (where ${prefix} is probably /opt/local).
It should just contain the downloaded source (and patches).fetch doesn't follow dependencies, so you'll have to handle that manually (or you can install the ports on your work machine - the process of which will cause all of the necessary files to be saved into the distfiles directory).
