It looks like you're running FreeBSD 5.3. Trying to get the latest
source may be more than you want to get into at this time (though you
should do it soon). If you have your FreeBSD 5.3 cds around still, you
can get the source by doing the following:
* login as root or su -
* run sysinstall
* Select 'configure' -> 'distributions' -> 'src' -> 'all' -> 'cd/dvd'
If you don't have the install cds you'll probably have to upgrade to
FreeBSD 5.4. In that case....

I don't use packages, I use the ports system
(http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports.html).
Maybe this is pkg_add's way of saying that cvsup is already installed?
What doesn pkg_info cvsup\* tell you? How about the command "which
cvsup"? If you get output from both of these commands you already have
cvsup and can go about following the links I sent earlier to get the
source and upgrade your system.
HTH,
