That supfile will only update your ports tree in /usr/ports. The file /usr/share/examples/cvsup/standard-supfile e.g. would update your files in /usr/src, your system's source tree. > Can't I just update the ports without updating the entire system? Yes, see above. > I'ld appreciate it if someone on this list could straighten out my > thinking. You're on the right track. Maybe check out the handbook again at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html#CVSUP-CONFIG-FILES You can use CVSup to update the source trees of both your system (/usr/src) and your ports (/usr/ports). So you have a cvsup file for each file tree, src->stable-supfile, ports->ports-supfile.
