I don't know about the most stable STABLE, but the ports question is
pretty easy. Create a supfile (go ahead and base it off
/usr/src/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile) and add a job to
/etc/crontab to cvsup the ports tree periodically. If you don't want to
mess with crontab, you could write a shell script that just executes
'cvsup -g -L 2 file_name' and put it in
/etc/periodic/[daily|weekly|monthly]
