Howdy folks
I'm not a CVSup expert, however I am concerned about the ports-supfile
Kudo's to Kent for pointing out src=all. That needs a fixin
I'm also concerned about *default base=/var/db as well
Perhaps consider a wonderful beverage and about 15 minutes of your time to carefull read the CVSup
section of the handbook
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html
Then, if you feel like I did after trying to figure out CVSup for the first time, you may find my
CVSup notes helpfull (shameless plug sorry)

I hope this helps
Take care
