What is the difference between using portsnap and cvsupping a ports supfile?
The last time I really used FreeBSD was several years ago, but it seems that
portsnap has replaced "cvsup ports-supfile". What exactly is the difference

cvsup only runs on a very limited set of architectures and forces you
to build or fetch INDEX files yourself.
Having said that, it's useful in non ports/ situations too.
