Not in a real sense.  The ports tree is a build infrastructure
containing Makefiles, lists of files and where they should go, and (in
a perfect world, continously shrinking) minimal patches.  It does not
contain source, per se.  There are small code snippets which are
_patches_, but the patches are largely of no great consequences.  They
exist to adapt foreign software to our interfaces, and the idea is
that those patches should eventually be fed upsteam, or become
unneccesary.
