I can get it up and running, and connected to the net, without using any ports. If you're looking for a desktop system, it will be kind of sparse and boring, but if you just want a server, then it will be sufficient.
The complete FreeBSD without ports comes with a shell, a compiler, a text editor, a bare-bones GUI, a plethora of networking tools, etc.
To this mix, I would add (my own personal preference) kde2.1, cvsup, and ghostscript. If you plan to do development, then get kdevelop2 or xemacs as an ide, autoconf, automake, and gmake. For word processing and stuff, get Staroffice. For painting and image processing get gimp. For playing audio get xmms. It's up to you.
