You'll need to edit your /etc/make.conf and configure it for your hardware.
Next try to download and burn either to cd or a spare hd the files you want
to install. Once you've got all of them (approx 9gigs for everything) then
you just point things to the cd/hd where your files are located and begin
building what you need.

I would only download the tree for you hardware. EG: x86 for intel pc's or
sparc if using a Sun Sparc. Should keep things a bit smaller and provides
you with all the files needed for doing a stage 1 build if you've got the
room.
