And here you see that your version of cvsup uses libm.so.2 from /lib,
which is the old version.  The current (bumped) version is libm.so.3,
and .2 should be in /usr/lib/compat (if you build with COMPAT4X=yes in
make.conf).  As long as it stays there, you should be able to run any
"old" executables.

So it's not absolutely necessary to update your ports, but then again,
it's also not absolutely necessary to update your system at all. :)
