very stupid (i don't know better) way but will work.

unpack all freebsd disto to say /i386, use install.sh from installation CD
this way

DESTDIR=/i386 ./install.sh

in every dir (exclude sys and sources).

unpack port directories in /i386/usr/ports

(if you use portsnap, portsnap -d /i386/usr/ports extract)

make empty /i386/etc/fstab
cp /etc/resolv.conf /i386/etc/resolv.conf


mount_devfs devfs /i386/dev

cd /i386
chroot . bin/your_favourite_shell
cd /usr/ports

compile as usual.
