On an unrelated note, do you use CVS to synchronize your ports tree with 
FreeBSD's copy, and if so, why not cvsup or portsnap instead?  I also use 
rsync to lock multiple machines on my LAN to a "master" ports and src 
server - something you might consider if you're using CVS to manage local 
synchronization.
