Using cvsup is the way to go for getting the latest ports.  I believe
that you can use cvsup without installing the ports collection from
cd.  I would suggest configuring the ports-supfile and running cvsup
(cvsup -g -L 2 ports-supfile).  You should also update your base with
cvsup and make buildworld as described in the handbook.
