The ",v" files would appear to be intended to be denizens of a CVS repository, rather than a "working directory". Are you intending to use CVSup to update a set of sources & ports directly, or to update a CVS repository? If the latter, you need to do a "cvs checkout" to create the working directory, and "cvs update" to update it (or some functionally equivalent operations).
