I don't think you want "tag=." as the default. That would put you the most current sources for the OS, which may have plenty of transient issues you don't want to have to deal with.
I use the following supfile regularly. You can see that I set the default tag to RELENG_5_3 which is basically the original release of 5.3 plus security updates (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvs-tags.html). I do that because these are servers that I try to keep as stable as possible. For a personal system, you may prefer to use RELENG_5 to get something more up to date, without being the bleeding edge of CVS updates. You can also see that I specify a different tag to grab for ports, so that I can get the updates on them.

Good luck,
If I'm not mistaken, he did mention the ports supfile. What I gave him (assuming he only wants one supfile for ports, and one for src) is simply that.
It's a very basic, to the point supfile. He needs nothing more then what I posted. The above reflects (to me atleast) the makings of a supfile for gathering the src tree.
Perhaps I read him wrong, perhaps I took for granted he only wanted a ports supfile. If I'm right, then what I gave him is all he needs. He does not need to be muddied with thigs that have zero to do with supping the ports tree.
Best regards, Chris
