Which manpage? cvsup(1) says,
Default settings may be specified in lines whose collection name is
*default. Such defaults will apply to subsequent lines in the supfile.
Multiple *default lines may be present. New values augment or override
any defaults specified earlier in the supfile. Values specified explic-
itly for a collection override any default values.

No.
Anyway, if there even is a bug somewhere, it is a ports, cvsupit or
cvsup, issue.
