I think that maybe your cvsup configuration file may have a typo.

Maybe practice with upgrading your ports tree first?  

Copy the example 'ports-supfile' from /usr/share/examples/cvsup/, edit
the "*default host=" entry and run that:

=====
cd 
cp /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile .
vi ports-supfile
  <<change the '*default host=' entry to point to a valid repository.>>
cvsup -g -L 2 ~/ports-supfile
=====

There is a great tutorial on using portupgrade and cvsup here:

   http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2003/08/28/FreeBSD_Basics.html

Since the ports tree is the same for all versions of FreeBSD (I
believe), it might make sense to start with them.  Once you get cvsup
working on your ports tree, then you can figure out which source tree to
cvsup to stay current with your kernel and userland.

hope this helps,

-Mike
