My mistake.  I found that in FreeBSD-CURRENT that csup does recognize 
.csup/auth.  Any timetable on when this will by MFCed to FreeBSD 7 and 8?

Incidentally, csup needs the following diff applied, so that I can 
continue to use "FreeBSD" in my auth file:
195c195
< 		if (strcmp(auth->server, server) != 0)
---

I'll file a PR.
