This feature is only available in cvsup. As for the OP, the tag to get the ports for FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE would be: RELEASE_6_2_0 This is mentioned in the handbook, http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvs-tags.html (the paragraph text in A.7.2) but may be it is not clear enough, since all the examples that follow refer to the src tree tags (which start with RELENG)
