No, this won't help. Dorian stated clearly that there is no network
connection available on the host he will install the packages on.

He could use the output of "make print-run-depends" for each port he would
like to install and fetch those packages. But this would require another
computer with -current and an installed ports tree. Not an option if I
read the OP correctly.

Kind regards,
