You can update both the ports tree and fetch a pre-generated INDEX file
which was gathered according to default port option values, in one go
with:

% make fetchindex update

If you have chosen a different set of defaults for your packages built
locally (ie. a different Python version), the fetched INDEX will not be
fully equivalent to you installed package suite, still you shall be
able to make a picture.
