No.  cvsup (in the base system) stores in /usr/sup.  Here, let me make
an outline tree:

 csup (in base system): stores CVS data in /var/db/sup
cvsup (in ports system): stores CVS data in /usr/sup
 csup (in ports): not sure where it stores the CVS data

All of this assumes the user DOES NOT override the defaults.

Further proof:

$ which csup
/usr/bin/csup
$ ls -l /var/db/sup
total 4
drwxr-xr-x    2 root      wheel     512  2 Oct 01:38 ports-all/
drwxr-xr-x    2 root      wheel     512  8 Oct 01:33 src-all/
