Looks like it.  According to the CVS logs, cvsupit was removed on May 6
of this year:

Hm, I would say a bad state, but not *very* bad.  Looks like cvsupit is
partially installed?  You might be able to fix it up by running

  pkg_delete cvsupit-3.1

which should delete any files that were installed by the cvsupit
package (and possibly give you some warnings when trying to delete ones
that weren't.)
