What about just building synth from ports? Then the OP have everything
built from ports.

In the example, the system is *clean*. If you build from ports you
immediately litter it with installed build dependencies.
The "real" process is just use the binary package that FreeBSD provides.
I was showing how to bootstrap it cleanly and the target audience is
those that insist they were the ones to build it (which I assume is a
small percentage of the overall audience). There is zero advantage to
building it yourself.
The other reasons is that all the build dependencies get generated as
packages in a synth directory, so by avoiding Synth temporarily has the
cost of having to potentially rebuild them all again later for other
packages or rebuilding a new version of synth. So it avoids unnecessary
repeat work as well.
