"make update" only fetches the source + ports tree via cvsup.
it's just a more convenient way of calling cvsup.
you have to make the following entries in /etc/make.conf to use
"make update":
SUP_UPDATE= yes
SUP= /usr/local/bin/cvsup
SUPFLAGS= -g -L 2
SUPHOST= <your cvsup mirror here>
SUPFILE= /etc/system.cvsup
PORTSSUPFILE= /etc/ports.cvsup
"make {build,install}world" is still necessary.
