This looks like a release-supfile (to update your /usr/src tree), and not a
ports-supfile.  Here are some basic instructions that I'd give out to get
cvsup working nicely:

Have a look at http://www.bugman.cx/cvsup/.  Copy the three files I have
there into your /etc directory and vim them all to taste.  Make sure you
modify them all!!  You will want to change the cvsup host to something local
to you, and you will probably want to remove WITHOUT_X11 and other
make.conf tags like that, and don't forget to change the release tag in
release-supfile.

It's pretty straight forward.

Now that you have these files, go into /usr/src or /usr/ports and type
'make update'.  By keeping these default options in /etc/make.conf,
whenever you run make, they are passed as default options.

It's easy to keep your ports/src trees up to date this way.
