Once you get your cvsup stuff straightened out, try this script, which I run every other day. Change the Log file if you want. This updates my sources to stable and updates the ports tree. I use two different cvsup files and commands so the two don't get confused. Don't try to use the same config file and cvsup command for the two different types of updates!! (In my experience, you're asking for trouble.)
You will need to install a few ports first, but you should get the idea. If you read the output every day (or you could email it to yourself, which I may eventually do if I like it), you will see which ports need to be updated. This script will probably contiune to get better as it gets added to. Like I need to include the security audited version of ports that need updated!
