This is normal. 5.2.1 will be a point release off the RELENG_5_2 branch and 
it's in code freeze at the time. So you got what you asked. It has security 
fixes as well as other bugfixes. The same has happened with some of the 4.x 
releases at the time. It's my understanding that if there are several 
critical security patches shortly after a major release and/or too much 
breakage, a point release is made.

/usr/share/examples/cvsup has example supfiles. IMHO you should have a 
seperate ports supfile, you'll likely update ports more often then your src. 
I normally only change the host and the tag if I want a releng supfile.
