Yes.

Except that cvsup is spelled csup nowadays -- or at least the C language
version in the base system is csup(1).

Also RELENG_8_0 is a tag that applies /only/ to the source distribution.
 Ports simply isn't tagged and branched in the same way.  You pretty
much always want HEAD when csup'ing ports.

Verb. Sap.  Put something like the following in your /etc/make.conf
(choose a cvsup server closer to you) and you can update both src and
ports by running 'make update' in /usr/src:

SUP_UPDATE=     yes
SUP=            /usr/bin/csup
SUPFLAGS=       -L2
SUPHOST=        cvsup.uk.freebsd.org
SUPFILE=        /usr/share/examples/cvsup/standard-supfile
PORTSSUPFILE=   /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile

(standard-supfile should default to RELENG_8_0 on a box running
8.0-RELEASE, but check and edit the file to make sure)

	Cheers
