Go direct to one of the FreeBSD ftp sites; e.g.
ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ISO-IMAGES-i386/
There you will find subdirectories containing ISO images for
he version you are looking for
then you don't need to install the port algorithm; just go ahead with the
'make install'.
And assuming you have an internet connection it might all happen.

You can even login as 'root' the privileged user this way but it is highly
