At least you need one machine with Internet connection to get
the ports update, e. g. using "portsnap fetch extract" or
"make update" (using csup). Once done, tar cf ports.tar /usr/ports
and transfer the file to the server without Internet connection;
finally extract it there.

Another way would be to use the FreeBSD release CD or DVD to
get the RELEASE related ports tree from there.
