Burn the packages to a CD at work?
Or, use the ports system, and grab the
source tarballs at work, burn them, and
take them home. Put them in /usr/ports/distfiles,
cd /usr/ports/somedir/mynextport, type "make
install clean" ....
Try installing portupgrade (/usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade)
on the work machine. You could then do "portupgrade -F"
to fetch the source (recursively) for ports on your
home machine, or "-FP" to fetch packages....
Lastly, the FreeBSD Mall (and some other vendors) have
multiple CD sets that include distfiles for many major
packages and their dependencies....
