It will just blow up your source files, not a disaster, really ...
Try this for a /etc/cvsupfile:
*default host=cvsup2.de.FreeBSD.org
*default base=/usr
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs
*default tag=RELENG_4
*default delete use-rel-suffix
*default compress
src-all
ports-all tag=.
This will keep your sources stable, and the ports very much up to date. Just
replace 'cvsup2.de.FreeBSD.org' with something closer to home ('de' happens to
be close to my home), and you're all set.

Documentation has never been my cup of tea ... I prefer the Socratic method
(asking questions) and fiddling until it either works or gets completely
fubar'ed (in which case I have backups).

MacOS X is wonderful, I've got a Mac sitting here just to be able to tinker
with it ... still ... I much prefer FreeBSD. If I didn't have to talk to
Exchange servers all the time (*sigh*) I wouldn't use anything other than
FreeBSD.
