Glad you got it working.

We have read-only git mirrors of several parts of the Subversion repository, 
including trunk, which contains the dports tree; feel free to use them:

As far as I know, "port sync" doesn't understand git checkouts, but if it 
doesn't, we would accept a patch to make it understand them, and until it does, 
you could fake it by doing whatever commands one does with git to get it to 
update the checkout, and then run "portindex" in the dports directory. You 
could wrap that up in a script and call it instead of "port sync". You could 
even install a shell alias to intercept "port sync" and have it run the script 
instead.
