I haven't tried it, but you can probably just edit out the lines 
concerning INDEX[-5] in /usr/sup/ports-all/checkout file.  Once cvsup 
believes it didn't create the file, it won't delete it.  The same will 
also be true if you rebuild INDEX[-5] after cvsup has deleted it the 
first time.  It shouldn't delete it a second time (since it didn't 
install the file).  Then you can rebuild a new INDEX[-5] when you desire.
