I remember that portupgrade is intentionally not in the base system, to allow easier updates
for a running system. This way it can be more often updated than the official releases, to
reflect changes in the ports system.

For cvsup, this might be a very different story; usually cvsup is the only package that
I install during installation of FreeBSD, since it is so much needed. Including cvsup
in the base system would probably be a good idea, as soon as it's rewritten in C.
