That's what 'svnsync' would get you. An entire mirror of the full
Subversion repository.

No, as far as I know there is currently only *one* server who hosts a
publicly visible copy of the repository. The server is:
svn.freebsd.org
and you would have to pull changes from that server, using svnsync.

There is no subversion repository for ports, doc or www. Only the 'src'
repository has switched to Subversion so far.
So if you want doc/, ports/ or www/ you will have to keep using CVsup to
grab repository copies for them.
