If you use "make update" in the /usr/ports/Makefile, then you don't
need to modify the supfile. Set the hostname and PORTSSUPFILE in
/etc/make.conf like so:

	SUPHOST=	cvsupFIXME.FreeBSD.org
	PORTSSUPFILE=	/usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile

and you're done. That "make update" will update the ports tree for
you.
