This isn't really an answer to your question. I switched from CVSup to Subversion for tracking base/stable/9 and ports/head on one of my computers not long ago. I still use local CVS for tracking my local changes. It works quite well without interfering with each other. Also, CVS is very lightweight, in more than one sense, compared to Subversion. Make sure your /usr/src and /usr/ports directories does not contain files and directories served by Subversion, they will hinder extraction/updating when checking out a Subversion working copy on top of the existing hierarchy. Simply delete all non-local files, rename /usr/src/sys to, say /usr/src/sys0, do the Subversion check out, and move your local files back into place. Depending on your needs, you might wanna set up a local Subversion repo mirror.
