There is no tag called RELENG_5_3 in the ports try so it will cause
everything to be deleted.  RELENG_5_3 only applies to the /usr/src tree.
Just use . for a tag for ports which gets the latest ones.
RELENG_5_3_RELEASE might work to retrieve the exact set of ports that
shipped with the cds, but I'd recommend to just get the latest with all
the security patches.
