A checkout of the entire /usr/ports into an empty directory is the way 
to start.  You can save the distfiles directory out of an existing 
/usr/ports first if desired.  And any customizations to ports files, if 
you have them.

Note that svn checkouts don't automatically combine.  Checking out 
/usr/ports is not equivalent to checking out all the category 
subdirectories into /usr/ports.
