This will get just the bare bones without downloading 18,000 "ports".  
I happen to use tcsh, so adjust setenv accordingly:

% mkdir FreeBSD-avr
% cd FreeBSD-avr
% setenv CVS_RSH ssh
% cvs -d address@hidden:/home/ncvs co avr-gcc avr- 
binutils avr-libc

Probably the first time you have opened an ssh connection to the  
above host so you'll need to approve the hostkey. Hostkeys are listed at
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/anoncvs.html

If you don't mess with the above files then you could cd to each  
directory and do "cvs update" in the future to sync with any updates.  
Or checkout this way and cd to ports/devel before "cvs update"

% cvs -d address@hidden:/home/ncvs co ports/devel/ 
avr-gcc ports/devel/avr-binutils ports/devel/avr-libc
