Run cvsup as shown on page 280 of "The Complete FreeBSD":
cvsup -g -L2 <supfilename>
The -L2 tells cvsup to list what it does in moderate detail.
Specifically, it looks like:
Parsing supfile "/src/cvsup/cvs-cvsupfile"

Connecting to cvsup.freebsd.org

This gives you information about what has happened to the repository
(in this example).

Your choice. It's stdout of the cvsup process. I personally put
these commands in a shell script called update-cvs and write:
$ mailme update-cvs
mailme is a little script which sends stdout and stderr as a mail
message. It also uses tee(1) to show the results on the screen:
#!/bin/sh
#
# Perform an operation and mail the results to me
$* 2>&1 | tee /dev/tty | mail `who am i | awk '{print $1}'`
