I replaced the ports collection with the full port tarball from the ports collection search page. Cvsup deletes that as well. I am using the ports-supfile from examples, and have only change the cvsup host. Has anyone else experience this?

To CVSup the ports - the ports-supfile ought to look like this:

*default host=cvsup2.FreeBSD.org
*default base=/var/db
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=.
*default delete use-rel-suffix
ports-all

What you "seem" to be doing is CVSuping the src tree. I think your 
confused a bite - here's the lines for src: (STABLE)

*default host=cvsup2.FreeBSD.org
*default base=/var/db
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_5
*default delete use-rel-suffix
*default compress
src-all
