Does 7.0 come with a disk for the Ports Collection or would they have

When it is released you will be able to buy a CD set containing some of the packages, but if you are downloading then you will have to use the usual methods for adding them (pkg_add -r, etc).

Im having trouble getting packages from the web, lots of errors when i
try to install them. Everything seems dependant on everything else.

Well yeah, lots of packages do :)

Once i get the SSH to work i will post some output. But for now, is there
a problem installing packages on 7.0?

Not in general. Get back to us when you have more details.
