This is all nice and well, but we have devel/porttools which make this 
process (especially filling out the PR) easier. I directly check the 
port out of cvs, so I'm sure I work with an uptodate version.

% cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs at anoncvs.at.freebsd.org:/home/ncvs co <port>
% cd <port> && hack it
% port submit (from devel/porttools, will automatically generate the PR)

Which is worse: ignorance or apathy?
Don't know. Don't care.
