No. What you downloaded through cvsup is the *source* for the
documents, not the output. This is exactly the same as cvsup'ing
the main system and having it put into /usr/src. If you want to
build the documents from source, you need to install the docproj
port. If all you want is updates to /usr/share/doc, then I
recommend downloading the documentation directly, as described
(for example) in the front page of the FreeBSD handbook.
The latest version of this document is always
available from the FreeBSD web site. It may also be downloaded in a
variety of formats and compression options from the FreeBSD FTP server or
one of the numerous mirror sites. If you would prefer to have a hard copy
of the handbook, you can purchase one at the FreeBSD Mall. You may also
want to search the handbook.
