This is one of the reasons I maintain a local copy of the CVS repo which I keep up-to-date via csup. Comes in quite handy at times. In fact, the CVS repo is the *only* thing I update directly via csup. I then do all my /usr/{doc,ports,src} updates from the local repo. Great for creating patches for submission, too.
