Please note that this solution applies specifically to those sites which 
are running cvsupd to mirror the cvs repository and the www sites.  I don't 
think you can directly apply this solution to sup'ing your ports collection.

I've solved it.  This time, by reading the FAQ again.  In particular: 

http://www.polstra.com/projects/freeware/CVSup/faq.html#refuse-where 

For sup'ing the files for a cvsup repository, this is how cvsup is invoked: 

cvsup -1gL 1 -c sup.client -h cvsup-master.freebsd.org supfile.non-crypto 

The key is the -c parameter.  Reading the FAQ, the refuse file must be 
"sup.client/refuse".  The full pathname is 
/usr/local/etc/cvsup/sup.client/refuse. 

Within this file I have the following: 

doc/es*
doc/ja*
doc/ru*
doc/zh*
doc/fr*
ports/german*
ports/japanese*
ports/korean*
ports/russian*
ports/vietnamese*
www/es*
www/ja*
www/ru*
www/zh*
data/es*
data/ja*
data/ru*
data/zh*
www/data/es*
www/data/ja*
www/data/ru*
www/data/zh*
src/share/doc/es*
src/share/doc/ja*
src/share/doc/ru*
src/share/doc/zh*

This stops all foreign language items.  I can't see a demand for that 
within New Zealand and I feel that saving the bandwidth is a higher 
priority than completeness. 

cheers.
