First install cvs, then example for bourne shell: $ CVSROOT=":pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs@FreeBSD.org:/home/ncvs" $ export CVSROOT $ cd $ touch .cvspass $ mkdir mycvs $ cd mycvs $ cvs login ( provide the password [anoncvs] ) $ cvs co -D "2002-01-22 02:30 UTC" ports/x11/XFree86-4 $ cvs logout you should now have in your home directory a sub dir structure like mycvs/ports/x11/XFree86-4 that contains the X4.2 port. backup your /usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4 dir and then replace it with your cvsupped copy. You should be good to go, *caveat* The *best* way to remove an application installed via ports is to go to the apps port dir and use "make deinstall", if you have updated or backdated that port and the version has changed this will not work.
