If you set the relevant variables in /etc/make.conf, and use "make
update", then you do not have to edit the sample supfile:

From the sample file /usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf (be sure to
uncomment anything you change):

#SUP_UPDATE=
#SUP=            /usr/bin/csup
#SUPFLAGS=       -g -L 2
#SUPHOST=        cvsup.uk.FreeBSD.org
#SUPFILE=        /usr/share/examples/cvsup/standard-supfile
#PORTSSUPFILE=   /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile
#DOCSUPFILE=     /usr/share/examples/cvsup/doc-supfile

FWIW, if you want to checkout the actual CVS repository, you still need
to use cvsup as well.  Unfortunately, csup does not yet support CVS
mode.
