Install cvsup from the ports. CVS is not the same as CVSup.
Edit your /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile file to:
*default host=cvsup.de.FreeBSD.org <== Use a country closer to you than .de
*default base=/usr
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=.
*default delete use-rel-suffix
*default compress
ports-all
OR
select any of the individual collections mentioned at then end of the file.
Then as root:
#cvsup /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile
and you're off.
