If you are maintaining a local cvs tree, you will need cvsup. I think that updating just that one port's skeleton (and maybe the one for cvsup also, though I don't think you'll need that) will be enough to get cvsup running for your updates. You can get that update directly from the FTP server, or from CVS Web. You can also get the package directly; you'll need to specify the path (e.g., with PACKAGEROOT or one of the other variables documented in the ports(7) manual) or fetch it by hand. I can't give the exact details because you didn't mention the version you were running, but for example the latest RELENG_6 build is at /ftp@ftp.freebsd.org:/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-6-stable/net/cvsup-without-gui-16.1h_3.tbz Good luck.
