I'm afraid you effectively deleted your ports collection; try using 
"tag=." for ports-all instead of "tag=RELENG_5_2". 

Notice this section in the supfile:

###############################################################################
#
# DANGER!  WARNING!  LOOK OUT!  VORSICHT!
#
# If you add any of the ports collections to this file, be sure to
# specify them like this:
#
#   ports-all tag=.
#
# If you leave out the "tag=." portion, CVSup will delete all of
# the files in your ports tree.  That is because the ports collections
# do not use the same tags as the main part of the FreeBSD source tree.

Good luck,
Karel.
