As often as you like/need. I usually do it manually every 1-3 days.
Cvsup is quite efficient, so you shouldn't have to worry about
overloading the cvsup servers if you do it frequently. On the other
hand, cvsupping every 6 hours when you only check the results once a day
is overkill.

You can also track changes to the ports tree via
http://www.freshports.org and cvsup when you see an interesting change
there.

Cheers
Benjamin
