Ports Base

Wondering if you could copy the ports base of a FreeBSD server to a CD, then
copy the CD to another FreeBSD server of the same version.
I searched through many docs on CVSUP, but didn't find the answer to this
question. I simply want to streamline the constant building and rebuilding
of FreeBSD 4.10 servers. Each time I build one, I have to run the CVSUP to
update several ports, etc. This really extends the build time of a server.
I figured if I could simply copy the ports tree structure to CD, then copy
that to the other servers, I'd save some time. I don't have enough hardware
to keep a constant CVSUP mirror locally, I already looked into that.
Thanks for your advice.
Lonnie
