You didn't understand what they were telling you. Your /usr/ports is using the old structure and the error message has nothing to do with cvsup. You will find that you have more tree structure in the port than .../irc/xchat/files. If you rm the port causing the problem and re-cvsup, your problem will go away. The reality is, however, that you need to rm -rv /usr/ports/* and then recvsup. That would take your distfiles at the same time and would be disruptive.
