Well, it depends somewhat on where the CVS repository is that you intend
to use. And it's my understanding that ports isn't branched (to reflect
-STABLE, -CURRENt or anything else).

I'll append a copy of the script I use after my .sig. A couple of
notes:
* It's a "shar" file, to facilitate extraction even for folks who use
MIME-challenged MUAs (like me).
* I use cvsup14.freebsd.org. It seems to work well for me; most folks
should probably use other mirrors.
* I'm maintaining a local CVS repository, and I update various trees
from that. (I maintain separate environments (including source trees)
for each of -CURRENT and -STABLE, as well as the ports.)
* It seemed to me (as I saw various folks' reports of breakages with
-CURRENT, particularly) that it might be useful to be able to report
-- with a fair degree of precision -- when my repository was last
updated, and from which mirror. Accordingly, I set up the script to
log that activity to facilitate that. It also (separately) logs
everything it does, so I can review that activity.
* The script is derived from one in use at work, which had been last
hacked by Julian (Elischer) before I got to it. (Thanks, Julian!)
* I invoke the script via cron with the -p flag, which tells it to go
ahead and update /usr/ports after updating my CVS repository. (I split
that function out because of one too many times I wanted to update my
CVS repository (in order to get some changes that might allow -CURRENT
to build, for example), but I didn't necessarily want to take the time
to update /usr/ports.)
If it works for you after suitable modifications for your situation),
great.
Cheers,
david
