Hi

>From the freshports website :

What is FreshPorts

FreshPorts lists the changes made to the ports tree. If you wish,
FreshPorts can email you when your favourite port has been updated.

FreshPorts is not the place to report errors or request changes. You
should do that on the FreeBSD Ports mailing list. We do not maintain
ports. We do not create ports. We do not fix ports. We just tell you
what others have been doing to the Ports tree.

So freshports is a website that tracks changes to the official ports
tree and can email notifications when changes are made to a port you are
interrested in.
You should have a copy of the ports tree on your FreeBSD system and keep
that updated.

I assume you know the difference between ports and packages. (ports do
not contain any actual software they just provide information on where
to download source files, compile and install that software).
There is no package for LMS because the actual software contains
firmware files that are not licensed to be re-distributed.
