If you grep for cvsup in /etc/services you see:
% grep cvsup /etc/services
cvsup 5999/tcp #CVSup file transfer/John Polstra/FreeBSD
So, therefore you need to tunnel port 5999 using syntax similar to:
% ssh -L5999:cvsupXX.freebsd.org:5999 myaccount@mypublic-server
Then, when you issue the cvsup command itself, reference localhost:
#cvsup -g -L 2 /usr/local/etc/cvsup/sup/ports -h localhost
