Hi,
   

I want to cvsup or/and portupgrade and logout but the program keep
running?
     

Try screen: /usr/ports/misc/screen
To run it, simply type `screen`, do your work, type "Ctrl-A d" to detach
(you can go home now). Log in again, type `screen -r`. Be happy.
   

You can also use nohup 

man 1 nohup
But screen is an excellent choice also but might be over kill 
for this specific purpose.

I use something like:
$ nohup sudo cvsup -g -L 2 /etc/cvsupdate &
appending output to /home/kovachme/nohup.out
 

Another way is using daemon(8) which seems in many cases much more 
useful than nohup.
