Would it be feasible to use CVS tags to mark the state of the ports tree whenever a package is successfully rebuilt by the cluster and pushed out to the FTP servers? Something like 'PKGBUILD_I386' (similarly for other architectures) -- applied to each port to mark a successful pkg build, and generally to everything else (/usr/ports/Mk/*, etc) at the start of any package building run. Then cvs, csup and cvsup users at least have a fairly simple way to check out a ports tree that matches what's available in pkg form on the FTP servers.
