I found for me, that for port updates it seems to look at your release level in your options. I went into root and ran sysinstall. I selected Options. At the bottom of the left hand column is the option Release Name. I changed it to 5.3-RELEASE. I'd probably check there, another thing I'll do is try a couple other cvsup sites.
