To run cvsupd, you need the whole cvs tree for the collections you're
handling, not just the checked-out files.

Assuming these machines are attached by a protected network, a better
approach (easier, anyway) would probably be to cvsup the changes to
just one machine, then NFS-mount that machine's ports tree from the
other machine.
