[copied to afnog list - this would be a better place to ask in future]

The command I use is:

# cvsup -g -L 2 -h cvsup.uk.freebsd.org /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile

Replace cvsup.uk.freebsd.org with a nearer (network-wise) mirror, if you
have one.

You're right that you need to install the cvsup-without-gui port or package
first. Easiest way:

# pkg_add -r cvsup-without-gui

Brian.
