Yes, the servers only contain RELEASE directories, so stable will not be found. (or you should try releng4.freebsd.org, which inhibits various releng_4 snapshots..but AFAIK they contain the release-ports, so it'll lead you nowhere) You could try to cvsup the ports with 'ports-supfile', farout the best way to upgrade or maybe even install the hierarchy because it is as up-to-date as, I expect, you wan't it to be.
