Sorry about that last one. Anyways, your ports-supfile should have nothing 
more then this:

*default host=cvsup3.FreeBSD.org
*default base=/var/db
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=.
*default delete use-rel-suffix ports-all

I seen you had something that relates to src. Take that out.


Best regards,
