Not exactly, there's only one 'version' of ports tree independent of
system version. Empty tag ('tag=.') is all that's needed.
Have a look at the Handbook (chapter A.5.3 "CVSup Configuration)[1]:
<<
Which version(s) of them do you want?
[...]
Warning: Be very careful to specify any tag= fields correctly. Some
tags are valid only for certain collections of files. If you specify
an incorrect or misspelled tag, CVSup will delete files which you
probably do not want deleted. In particular, use only tag=. for the
ports-* collections.

Should be 'tag=.' as explained above. HTH.
