Yes, as long as you don't have ports selected, like if you had ports-all
in the same file with that tag, you'd end up deleting your ports tree,
because the ports collection doesn't use the same tag. BTW, if you update
ports with cvsup, it will just update the Makefiles and patches, not the
actual ports installed as packages on your system. You might have known
that, but thought it would be worth mentioning.
