Me thinks you're making this more difficult than it needs to
be. Avoid fiddling with the contents of your supfile. The only
things you've changed from the vanilla settings are the base
and host values. Both of those can be set from the command-line:
cvsup -g -b /usr/local/etc/cvsup -L 2 -h cvsup2.freebsd.org \
/usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile
I've also tacked on a recent post by Mike Meyer which has some
relevance here:
