Would this not be an appropriate use for packages?  If one creates a 
package for every installed port on the "host" system, then one simply 
installs the package on the target system.

I have used this technique with some success when "transferring" ports 
from one system to another.  In my situation, I'm using the same 
architecture (i386) and OS version (6.3 --> 6.3 or 7.0 --> 7.0).
