Solved Fresh installation - can't build pkg from ports

I have a fresh installation of FreeBSD 13.0-Release on a machine without internet connection. Some time ago, to install pkg, I would enter "/usr/ports/ports-mgmt/pkg" and call "make" to build it. However, now I am getting the following errors:

In other words, to build "pkg" from ports, it requires "dialog4ports", which itself requires "pkg" like a cyclic dependency.
Is there any way around this? I mean, any way that does not involve internet connection or downloading/copying files - I can only use the installation DVD. Thanks!
