I would suggest that you don't use ports :)

If you want it all ready to go then build all the packages you want and add then in a script.

Alternatively you can do what I do, and create a chroot, build all the ports you want, then tar it up and splat it onto the destination disk after a minimal install.

That way you can tweak to your hearts content and it is considerably faster than pkg_add.
