    Never midn there are some people here who are not natural speakers :-)
    Anyway I do not really know if this will help you ut I would try
    running /stand/sysinstall -->options --> Media Type option
    I do not exactly know if this is only the location that an installation will
    be performed from or if it is what you search.

    On the other hand you can simply put port files (for example
    "samba-3.0.7.tar.gz" for samba3) into /usr/ports/distfiles.
    The ports install proces alway looks there first if the file he needs
    is already there and if it is uses it.

    Regards
