If you use 'make update', you can specify where you put your supfiles in
/etc/make.conf:

SUPFILE=        /usr/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile
PORTSSUPFILE=   /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile
DOCSUPFILE=     /usr/share/examples/cvsup/doc-supfile

(OK, so I just modified the example supfiles and used them directly -
not the best practice, I'm sure :) :) :)

Never used cvsup by itself, though, so I dunno about that.  Sorry.
