  This tag (RELENG_5_3) is for system cvsup not for ports cvsup. In case
  of system cvsup tag=3D. means to get 6.0-CURRENT. For ports cvsup (which
  is what I presume you want) tag=3D. is correct.

  I would recommend you to use also -b switch in portupgrade (like
  -abrR) to preserve replaced version of software you are upgrading.


  	Cheers,
