This is a known problem of the url.cgi script, when it interacts with
the Ports tree.  There is no "net/cvsup-without-gui/pkg-descr" file,
because the net/cvsup-without-gui port is, basically, a wrapper that
installs net/cvsup with options that disable its GUI.

In a sense, this is not a broken link, but a bug of url.cgi.

Thanks for reporting this though :)
