Yah. I had a mistake and corrected.

My file looks as 

*default host=cvsup10.us.freebsd.org
*default base=/var/db
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=.
*default delete use-rel-suffix
ports-all

#ports-base
#ports-accessibility
#ports-arabic
#ports-archivers
#ports-astro
#ports-audio
#ports-benchmarks
#ports-biology
#ports-cad
#
..
..
..
#ports-x11-wm

It takes longtime to update the ports. I am not sure
abt my config. Should I change anything else?
