Why not create packages on the first server from those installed ports
after
all those outdated ports were upgraded.  They should already have those
options applied in when the packages are created.

Something like this:

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2005-February/07751
8.html

Then you can move the packages over to the other machine and do:
pkg_add /path/to/all/the/ports/*
