On the flip side, I use CVSup to maintain a local CVS mirror, which I
update nightly.  The nightly run takes about a minute, barring times
with particularly large changes (like tagging/branching a release).
Doing just a checkout of ports would probably take less, done
regularly.  Of course, when left unupdated for longer periods of time,
things can get kinda backed up...
