I don't think that would keep him from installing the newer version 
after he cvsuped, system might complain or manually rebuild the index 
but thats it. After the portupgrade problem with index and how long it 
takes to rebuild the index I now do this now too. also I run pkgdb -F or 
pkgdb -Fu and portsclean -C before running portupgrade -arRwW and after 
I run portupgrade I run portsclean -CDD and then clean out the old libs, 
that is...if portupgrade had no errors. He emailed me and said he was 
installing it for the first time, I think he just didn't do the cvsup 
part correctly.
