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.
