    I wonder why you want to do this.

    My system is not 5.3, but STABLE, which refers to
    5.4-PRERELEASE at this moment. On this system, it
    appears to me that base system and ports have the
    same versions (see below). Then why not using
    tcpdump from the basesystem?

    Rob.

    $ cd /usr/ports/
    $ make search name=tcpdump
    Port: tcpdump-3.8.3_1
    Path: /usr/ports/net/tcpdump
    Info: Ubiquitous network traffic analysis tool
    Maint: bms@FreeBSD.org
    B-deps: autoconf-2.53_3 libpcap-0.8.3 m4-1.4.1
            perl-5.8.6_2
    R-deps: libpcap-0.8.3

    $ /usr/sbin/tcpdump -V
    tcpdump version 3.8.3
    libpcap version 0.8.3
