Cvsup downloads the equivalent of

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/ports/ports.tar.gz

However, the CGI index (http page you refer to) shows
pretty much the exact same ports tree I have at /usr/ports...

So, what's the discrepancy?

Plus, what's wrong with the standard tools?

#whereis foobar
/usr/ports/misc/foobar

OR

#cd /usr/ports
#make search key=foo
