Why not just CVSup STABLE branch and compile whole system
from sources? Take an example for CVSup configuration file
from the /usr/share/examples/cvsup directoty for STABLE branche, 
install cvsup from package and update your system with "make
buildworld" and "make installworld". Before clean content of the
/usr/obj directory.
