If you open the XFCE Terminal, will the whole system freeze again? Try switching to another virtual console (Ctrl Alt 1-6, 7 is for Xorg).
Maybe that happens because you don't have permission to edit the files in /usr/ports (because it's owned by root, and it's only writable by him). You must be root to edit the files owned by root. --
