Mine does

FWIW, this is my ports supfile:
# Defaults that apply to all the collections

# IMPORTANT: Change the next line to use one of the CVSup mirror sites
# listed at http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/mirrors.html.
*default host=cvsup.uk.FreeBSD.org
*default base=/usr
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=.
*default delete use-rel-suffix
# If your network link is a T1 or faster, comment out the following line.
*default compress
ports-all
