porteasy lets you download just the skeleton of the ports you need not
the whole ports tree (thanks to Dru's blogs for that).

I didn't realize the services were different, I just thought I was doing
something wrong.  Definitely an end-user in the whole cvsup / porteasy
area.  I did notice that the porteasy skeleton tree has a
/usr/ports/CVS/Root file whereas a cvsup'd tree does not...

So no worries if there is extra work involved,
