Make that tag=RELENG_5_2 -- there's no such tag as the one you
recommend, and trying to use that will end up deleting all of the
user's files.  Note too that this tag only applies to the src -- not
the ports.  Try this instead:

    *default host=ftp4.us.freebsd.org
    *default base=/usr
    *default prefix=/usr
    *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_5_2
    *default delete use-rel-suffix
    *default compress

    src-all
    ports-all tag=.

Note too that there's not much point in only grabbing parts of the
ports collection.  Unless you know exactly what you're doing, you need
the whole thing in order to have much change of success at using it.

	Cheers
