 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.
