Having said that, our BSD boxes are our main network gates, the last thing I needed was an ugly binary build or bad kernel source bringing our intra & internetworking traffic to a halt. Now I cant imagine manualy ftp'ing and installing ports or current source. CvsUp has thus far proven to be a reliable and efficiant live update for unix heh. (Dont shoot me for saying that!)
