Is that a new one on me or do you mean 'cvsup' -- which has been
replaced with 'csup'?
That would be the recommended way to update your ports tree.
You want to use the directive:
ports-all tag=.
in your supfile to pull in the latest ports tree - which is the only one
since it is not branched like the main OS.
Actually, you should to a full update of the OS and ports tree
at the same time and then build and install all the system before
installing the ports. It doesn't actually take very long any
more on recently built 1,000+ MHz hardware which is so much faster
than in the good old days of 80 MHz CPUs.
