Thanks. Yes --- that's a FAQ. You need to tell cvsup(1) that it "owns" all of the files under /usr/ports --- that way, when you update it will delete the old COMMENT files to bring your ports tree into line with the latest available. See http://www.cvsup.org/faq.html#caniadopt and subsequent questions.
