"make update" only fetches the source + ports tree via cvsup.
it's just a more convenient way of calling cvsup. 

you have to make the following entries in /etc/make.conf to use
"make update":

SUP_UPDATE=     yes
SUP=            /usr/local/bin/cvsup
SUPFLAGS=       -g -L 2
SUPHOST=        <your cvsup mirror here>
SUPFILE=        /etc/system.cvsup
PORTSSUPFILE=   /etc/ports.cvsup

"make {build,install}world" is still necessary.

hth,
toni
