In case of csup, you relies that the cvs mirrors are up to date.
And what about /var space... svn spends much more space in
/usr/ports itself (.svn directory) than portsnap does (now my
/var/db/portsnap directory is 95MiB, and .svn for ports will be
comparable with size of ports itself!).
I personally (maintainer of subversion port!) prefer csup over all
other methods for "non-developers" systems too, and I'll be happy to
see "svnup" when (if?) it will be created...
