It works the way you have it. However,You can split that into three 
files. You're following 5-STABLE, there are times when you don't want 
to be downloading src, unless you're planning to run buildworld cycles 
a lot. Instead of cvsuping ports, you could use portsnap. Once it's run 
the first time, it's a lot, lot faster way to upgrade the ports tree 
than using cvsup.
