I don't think that's quite what the question was asking.
For updating a single port skeleton, the cvsweb interface
( http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ )
is probably the easiest way. In individual ports directories,
it offers a link to get the whole directory as a tarball.
E.g., for xmms,
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/multimedia/xmms/
and particularly
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/multimedia/xmms/xmms.tar.gz?tarball=1
