I find that building cvsup takes a lot of resoures such as installing modula to build it, so I've always just put cvsup in as an installable package. You can do this. PKG_PATH=ftp://ftp2.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-stable/packages export PKG_PATH or setenv PKG_PATHftp://ftp2.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-stable/packages depending on what shell you use. Then do this. pkg_add -v $PKG_PATH/net/cvsup-without-gui-16.1f.tgz [or the approriate package substitued above] Really quite painless.
