1.  Use csup, not cvsup.  csup is in the base system.
2.  Consider using portsnap instead.
3.  Deleting your ports tree before updating it will waste time and
     bandwidth.  Use 'portsclean -C' if you just want to remove work
     directories.
4.  http://www.wonkity.com/~wblock/docs/html/portupgrade.html

PC-BSD is just a desktop installation of FreeBSD and KDE.  Well, there's 
a little more to it than that, but it *is* FreeBSD, not a different BSD.
