So this fetches the src for CURRENT. In your original post you said you wanted 
to "review changes/diffs". This will not allow you to do that because you 
only have a snapshot of the source. To put this another way, you have nothing 
to diff against.

Also forgot to say that the simplest way to fetch a local copy of the 
repository is to install the cvsup-mirror port. Disable its cron job and run 
the update script whenever you need to.
