 Which manpage? cvsup(1) says,
 
      Default settings may be specified in lines whose collection name is
      *default.  Such defaults will apply to subsequent lines in the supfile.
      Multiple *default lines may be present.  New values augment or override
      any defaults specified earlier in the supfile.  Values specified explic-
      itly for a collection override any default values.

 No.
 
 Anyway, if there even is a bug somewhere, it is a ports, cvsupit or
 cvsup, issue.
