There is only one branch of the ports collection, the "current"
branch.  Your supfile is probably acquiring the ports collection
from the "RELENG_4" branch, which is non-existent for the ports.
You normally acquire ports from cvs by requesting ports-all, with
a tag=.

I usually request exactly what I need, rather than using the cvs-all 
collection. My 4.x-STABLE supfile looks exactly like yours, but instead
of the "cvs-all" line, I have this:

src-all
doc-all
ports-all tag=.
