Get the ports from 
	
  ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports-current/x11-toolkits/p5-Gtk
  ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports-current/x11-toolkits/gtk11
  ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports-current/x11-toolkits/imlib

You need the full directories, you can fetch them by appending .tar to
them, thus, (with an open Internet connection) type:

fetch ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports-current/x11-toolkits/p5-Gtk.tar
fetch ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports-current/x11-toolkits/gtk11.tar
fetch ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports-current/x11-toolkits/imlib.tar

extract them somewhere and then go to the p5-Gtk directory and type 'make'.

(Since p5-Gtk depends on gtk11 and imlib, thos will get build too.)

This will fetch all stuff for you from the ftp sites and build it for you.
When it finishes without errors you can type 'make install'.
