The FreeBSD ports tree will migrate from CVS to Subversion soon. The
anticipated date for the migration is July 14th. This will have no impact
for ports tree users as there will be a SVN to CVS exporter.
Please note that cvsup will still work after the migration. Nevertheless
c(v)sup is pretty dated so you may want to see if portsnap(8) will fit your
needs.

While portsnap has several advantages over csup, it is unusable in my
case because I have always maintained local mods to ports in the ports
tree and portsnap neatly removes them. I may move to using svn to
maintain my own copy of the tree and update the working directory
where I can keep my customizations.
You may want to look at the manpage for portsnap.conf and see how
advantageous it may be to use the REFUSE option.
