Did you rebuild your INDEX file(s) after you cvsuped. The current INDEX file is 2 weeks old. That is pretty recent. Right now, I use "make index" and "portsdb -u" in /usr/ports. You don't need to use portsdb if you aren't using portupgrade. Not using portupgrade is a painful way to maintain your ports :).
