Ah ha. You're trying to check out the entire thing, which includes the
ports collection.

This is what I do:

  -  I keep a copy of all the FreeBSD repositorys in

         /usr/local/cvs-reps/FreeBSD/

     This means that I have the directories 'doc', 'src' and 'ports' under
     there.

  -  When I checkout the source I

         # cd /usr/src
         # setenv CVSROOT /usr/local/cvs-reps/FreeBSD
         # cvs checkout -d . -r RELENG_2_2 src

     This checks out the src directory from the repository, and roots the
     files in the current directory (the '-d .' parameter).

     If I didn't do this then CVS would create a 'src' directory in the
     current directory, giving me "/usr/src/src/".

  -  After I've run CVSup I can then

         # cd /usr/src
         # cvs update -Pd

     and it does the right thing.

Let me know if that helps.
