It seems the required software for accessing perforce repositories is
available in ports:

/usr/ports/devel/perforce

I haven't tried it myself though. I don't even know if
perforce.freebsd.org allows anonymous access. You can however read some
details on it here:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/p4-primer/index.html

If you do try, it please send a follow up post with results.

No, it doesn't allow anonymous access (this isn't feasible due to the way perforce works, i.e. maintaining all client state on the server). I dont know of a way to extract a general perforce tree, although a few of them (like trustedbsd) are exported via cvsup on I think cvsup9. I think you will have to ask whoever's branch you are looking at for a copy of it.
