I'd suggest stage3 instead of stage1 since it is the most complete 
version. WITH_LINUXBASE is okay, if you don't want to chroot, but that 
is discouraged, since _none_ of the related ports are guaranteed to work 
properly with that. Only the default linux_base port is supported 
officially by our ports collection, which is already linux_base-fc4 at 
the moment, that's why I did not mention this way in my previous answer.
