How to install ports from CD-ROM

[耗 子]

Maybe you were misunderstanding me because of my bad english.:(
I did not mean that I would not download source codes from Internet,
but download it from another site. Take installing vim for example,
after I type "make install" in /usr/ports/editors/vim, Freebsd will
try to download files from ftp://ftp.freebsd.org. However, I want to
let it download from ftp://ftp1.freebsd.org. How to make it ?
Thank you.
