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
