To do it easier, you can set some variables in /etc/make.conf as
follows:

SUP_UPDATE=     yes
SUP=            /usr/local/bin/cvsup
SUPFLAGS=       -g -L 2
SUPHOST=        cvsup.jp.FreeBSD.org   (<- change as you like)
SUPFILE=        /usr/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile
PORTSSUPFILE=   /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile

Then type 'make update' in /usr/src.  Your source tree will be updated
using stable-supfile, and your ports tree will be updated using
ports-supfile.  Maybe you need to edit stable-supfile to retrieve
RELENG_5_3.

See /usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf and /usr/share/examples/cvsup/README
for the detail.
