Is the current port 4.3.1 or 4.3.0?  Which ever it is, I used the port to
build it from scratch.  I newfs'd the partition before installing 5.1.
Everything on it (except for cvsup itself and its dependencies, built from
the ports off the 5.1-R CD) is built from the current ports tree.

cvsupfile file is:

*default  host=cvsup11.FreeBSD.org
*default  base=/usr
*default  prefix=/usr
*default  release=cvs
*default  tag=RELENG_5_1
*default  delete use-rel-suffix

src-all
*default tag=.
ports-all
doc-all
