For most purposes, csup is a drop-in replacement for cvsup. This program comes with the base system since FreeBSD 6.2, so it does not require bloated dependencies to run.

A benefit of csup is that it is used the same way cvsup is used: it uses the same configuration supfiles, and is generally used the same way on the command line. Csup is adequate for updating ports and the source tree, but it lacks other cvsup mirroring functions. This program is perfectly suitable for updating the source tree, since portsnap is best used to update ports.

Please see the csup man page for more details.
