I'm surprised you could do it at all with only 50 MB of swap. :-)

It's actually building modula-3-lib that requires so much swap.
Building CVSup itself isn't too bad.  People with limited swap who
really want to build CVSup from the sources should install the
"modula-3-lib" and "modula-3" _packages_ first.  Then build the
"cvsup" port.
