I am not certain that I understand your question.

`cvsup` just updates the ports tree (or some other sources) located
wherever you tell it to update them.

In the ports-supfile, you have a lines like

*default base=/usr
*default prefix=/usr

I can't recall exactly what they specifiy individually, but 
if you set them both, for example, to `/usr', then the ports
tree would be installed in /usr/ports. 

You need to do nothing more to ``make'' or ``install'' the ports tree.

ps: Covered in FreeBSD Handbook, Appendix A section 5 ``Using CVSup''.
