Of course you can.

I have the same situation.  I run cvsup through periodic/daily, but I only =

update ports if portaudit reports a security problem.  All cvsup does is=20
replace source files.  It does not install anything, so nothing changes on =

your system until you run portupgrade or recompile your kernel and system=20
files.
