I do not think there are any such tools.  You can use the -PP flags with 
portupgrade to force it not to use the tree, and instead fetch packages from 
a remote site if they are not found locally.  However, an up-to-date tree is 
still required; the program has no other way to check what the latest version 
of any port is.
