	I am almost embarrassed to say this.  But on ports, you want
-current.  So if you have one long cvs file, half way through you have to
change the default tag so you sup -current for ports.  Thus is says in 
/usr/share/examples/cvsup/4.x-stable-supfile:

###############################################################################
#
# DANGER!  WARNING!  LOOK OUT!  VORSICHT!
#
# If you add any of the ports collections to this file, be sure to
# specify them like this:
#
#   ports-all tag=.
#
# If you leave out the "tag=." portion, CVSup will delete all of
# the files in your ports tree.  That is because the ports collections
# do not use the same tags as the main part of the FreeBSD source tree.
#
###############################################################################

   
	In short, If you already suped current for ports, you should just
leave them that way.  That at least is right.
