The point of cvsup is to keep the thing you are cvsupping _exactly_ in sync with the mirror: if you change a file, cvsup will do its job and revert it to the mirror version. You can play games with 'refuse' files, but this will likely break your world the next time someone makes a change to a file you've told cvsup not to track. The way to track changes to FreeBSD while maintaining local changes is to use cvsup to mirror the CVS repository, and use CVS to manage your checked out copy of the tree with local patches. This is a bit more work and takes more disk space, but isn't hard. How to do this is documented in the places you'd expect.
