Do not mix ports and source, it is always better to use two seperated
supfiles for each. Take a look in here:

  /usr/share/examples/cvsup/

I am not sure why you want to use a date. If you only want to update to
the security branch of FreeBSD 4.11 you do not need it.

Here as an example my supfiles for 5.4 to give you an idea.

ports-supfile:

*default host=cvsup.no.FreeBSD.org
*default base=/var/db
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=.
*default delete use-rel-suffix
*default compress
ports-all


security-supfile:

#cvsupfile for 5.4-security
*default host=cvsup.no.FreeBSD.org
*default base=/var/db
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_5_4
*default delete use-rel-suffix
*default compress
src-all


The tag is important, for ports it is always '.', which means you will
always get the latest version. If you use this tag for the source tree
too, then you will end up getting the latest -CURRENT version, the
development branch.

The -STABLE branch only uses the release number, e.g. RELENG_4 would be
FreeBSD 4-STABLE. The -SECURITY branch, you want to get, has an
additional number added, RELENG_4_11.
