The ports collection can be followed by the same methods that folks use to
follow the main source code: either cvsup or ctm.  Both work fine already,
so there's no need to add another method.  BTW, if you follow the cvs
archive, ports is already there also.  You can read about using cvsup
and/or ctm in the FreeBSD handbook.
