Install cvsup from the ports. CVS is not the same as CVSup.

Edit your /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile file to:

*default host=cvsup.de.FreeBSD.org  <== Use a country closer to you than .de
*default base=/usr
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=.
*default delete use-rel-suffix
*default compress

ports-all

OR

select any of the individual collections mentioned at then end of the file.

Then as root:

#cvsup  /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile

and you're off.
