Build just one FreeBSD port

Now, what is the minimal set of things in /usr/ports/ that I need to checkout to be able to config/build just one port?
Turns out to be:
/usr/ports/Mk
/usr/ports/Keywords
/usr/ports/Templates
/usr/ports/ports-mgmt/dialog4ports
And the port I want to actually build. Now I can ‘make config’, change the options and build/install that port without checking out entire ports tree.
