Since it core dumps with "Illegal instruction", it looks like there cvsup is
still using some of the ports you compiled with the wrong flags. I would try
the following:

1) Rename your file /etc/make.conf such that the system stops using it (just
in case there is still something wrong with it
2) run pkg_deinstall -Rf cvsup (or cvsup-without-gui, depending on what you
installed exactly)
3) cd /usr/ports/cvsup (or cvsup-without-gui)
4) make clean install
5) Try cvsup again
