It checks out a copy of the source tree to be build and then builds it and
installs it in a chrooted directory. It then packages up the binaries and
splits them.
You can cvsup the repository, which is handy if you have both stable and
current machines. Or you want to do make release :)
Also unless you have the ports cvs repo you'll want to define NODOCS=YES
NOPORTS=YES when doing make release.
