My issues start coming into play when building the actual port itself.
Ie. fetching the distfile, as you suggested above.
As soon as I start running portmaster -a or a 'make install clean' on
certain ports, the progress just bombs out totally.
It would be really cool if I could find a way to centrally manage all of
this. So perhaps in conjunction with CVSup.....
Something like a Linux repo server if you will - though I mention the
term very loosely.
Have you played with pkgng at all? It's a bit new to use in production
just yet, although reports from testers have been pretty positive so
far, and it's perfectly fine for evaluation purposes.
It will solve your main problem of not being allowed FTP traffic, as you
can select a package repository accessible through HTTP -- like
the main test repository http://pkgbeta.freebsd.org/freebsd-9-amd64/latest
See http://wiki.freebsd.org/pkgng

Thanks Matthew I will give this a go, although currently I have 2x
FreeBSD machines in 'almost' full production as testing will cease quite
shortly.
It might actually be quite useful in conjunction with Puppet and Cobbler
(not sure if is for FreeBSD too).

Kaya
