From the handbook (http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/cvsup.html): The easiest way to install *CVSup* is to use the precompiled net/cvsup package from the FreeBSD packages collection . If you prefer to build *CVSup* from source, you can use the net/cvsup port instead. But be forewarned: the net/cvsup port depends on the Modula-3 system, which takes a substantial amount of time and disk space to download and build. *Note:* If you are going to be using *CVSup* on a machine which will not have *XFree86* installed, such as a server, be sure to use the port which does not include the *CVSup* GUI, net/cvsup-without-gui . If you do not know anything about *CVSup* at all and want a single package which will install it, set up the configuration file and start the transfer via a pointy-clicky type of interface, then get the cvsupit package. Just hand it to pkg_add(1) and it will lead you through the configuration process in a menu-oriented fashion. Post if you continue to have issues.
