1. Use csup, not cvsup. csup is in the base system.
2. Consider using portsnap instead.
3. Deleting your ports tree before updating it will waste time and

PC-BSD is just a desktop installation of FreeBSD and KDE. Well, there's
a little more to it than that, but it *is* FreeBSD, not a different BSD.
