Glad you got it working.

We have read-only git mirrors of several parts of the Subversion repository, \
including trunk, which contains the dports tree; feel free to use them:

As far as I know, "port sync" doesn't understand git checkouts, but if it doesn't, we \
would accept a patch to make it understand them, and until it does, you could fake it \
by doing whatever commands one does with git to get it to update the checkout, and \
then run "portindex" in the dports directory. You could wrap that up in a script and \
call it instead of "port sync". You could even install a shell alias to intercept \
"port sync" and have it run the script instead.
