You'll want 3.x-STABLE (tag RELENG_3) most likely.

Just make sure you have:

ports-all tag=.

in your CVSup file

Not sure I understand your question.  If you want to keep a local
repository of the FreeBSD project up to date,  then the most
painless way I know is to install /usr/ports/net/cvsup-mirror.

You can use normal CVS checkout and export commands against this
repository or even run cvsup against the localhost cvsupd process
installed by cvsup-mirror.

I don't understand all of the nuances of trying to place
one's own sources into a  FreeBSD repository being mirrored
with CVSup.

I can't imagine it would be a recommended thing to do.

If you are interested in building local deviants of FreeBSD,
then the artifacts left over from a 'make release' are very
useful for building in a chrooted environment.

You can apply patches from your own local repository there
and then build things without distrupting your development
system.

HTH,
