If you did, many of your ports won't longer work properly (or at all) because of missing libraries.

Of course it could take VERY long time depending on installed ports and machine spec., so if you just need to get your sources updated quickly I recommend: 1. Try csup instead of cvsup.

If you (for some strange reasons) want to stick to cvsup, you'll probably make it work again by portupgrade -fR 'cvsup*' 3. another approach is to get cvsup binaries from package instead of compiling ports - check man pkg_add 4.

I will be rebuilding my ports gradually, starting with the development ports like Perl, gcc, clang etc. I am also experimenting with a custom kernel where I am eliminating drivers and modules for isa, wireless devices and hardware only found on laptops. The early results are encouraging. I run fold...@home in a VirtualBox with Unbuntu x64 as a guest OS. Since trying a custom kernel, floating point performance has improved over 20%. This may also be due to some kernel improvements in FreeBSD 9. So far I am very impressed with the stability of the OS. I have not had problems with any of the programs that I run on a regular basis. I had expected to hit more bugs. I will get started on the rebuilds but with 1700 ports installed, I will wait for a free weekend to compile the big stuff.
