No clue as to what's going wrong, sorry.

But you should probably be using cvsup (or cvsup-without-gui), as IIRC
cvsupit is obsolete.  (It's not in my ports tree, anyway.)

Probably the simplest way to install cvsup-without-gui on a fresh system
is to use /stand/sysinstall -> Configure -> Packages.  (You can also use
the pkg_add command in the command line but I don't remember the
invokation offhand.)
