One solution I have used several times is to get all the ports (for 3.4 in this case)
burned on cdrom from http://chguy.net. The entire port set fit on 3 cdroms and cost
me < $20, postage included. I copied all the cdroms to /home/CDs and then could
install any port (including dependencies) easily.
