Instead of enabling specific parts of the ports tree in the supfile, a refuse file will allow you to just deny getting specific ports. For example, say you don't want to get any of the language specific ports (arabic, french, japanese...), you put those in the refuse file. See an example in /usr/share/examples/cvsup/refuse and read about its use in man csup
