Cvsup is a port that you would have to add to your system. Before you 
worry about what you have, you might read Chapters 4 and 19 of the 
Handbook at
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html

There are a number of possibilities. You might not have installed all of 
the sources and features that you needed when you created the system. 
There is a cvsup tag of RELENG_4_10 that will follow the security tree 
for 4.10. 

Most of these operations are easy once you have a basic understanding of 
the process of maintaining a system. There is a freebsd-newbies list 
that might help get you started.

Since the system can't find the library you are having problems with, it 
becomes a function of what is the easiest way to get it working. It 
looks like you chose to little when you did the install.  Being a 
control freak is ok but when you are getting started, a custom install 
may not work.

Using cvsup to grab the latest code and then following the instructions 
in Chapter 19 is one way of doing this. Other people may have different 
ideas and I don't know what would be the fastest on your end.
