Simple: just install the net/cvsup-mirror port. It will run you through an interactive installation script to help you configure things. Since you're setting up a private mirror, you shouldn't use cvsup-master.freebsd.org. (In fact, you shouldn't use that server anyhow without permission from the powers that be.) The other cvsup servers are generally fine for this purpose. If you're going to run the mirroring frequently, do check with the admins of the server you want to use first.
