Sorry, i found answers for distfiles and cvsup on handbook, but how make portsnap mirror?

The maintainers of Portsnap isn't currently looking for more mirrors. This is because the way that portsnap works, running a mirror is much more intensive than running lots and lots of clients. Thus only a handful of mirrors are really need to support a large amount of clients.

What about using caching proxy for portsnap? Something like this: http://taosecurity.blogspot.com/2005/06/portsnap-and-squid-at-bsdcan-this-year.html

That is a good way to handle it if you have a lot of machines. You could also share out the ports tree via NFS or something like that.
