Depends on whether you want to update the OS as
well as the 3rd party software ("ports").

Hmm, never used seperate tags in the same
SUPfile, but I guess that cvsup is smart enough
to do that, considering what it does do.
For a discussion of the release tags, see the "Cutting
Edge" chapter in the FreeBSD handbook[1].
Please do note that you most likely *want* to
use "tag=." for ports, but *not for source*. You
probably want the latest releases of ports, but
it's not nearly so likely you want to be running
HEAD/CURRENT on your system....

[1]For 4-STABLE, for example, your cvsup app should
be looking for src files tagged "RELENG_4".
