The ports live on their own cvs island, there is no RELENG_ANYTHING
associated with them. The combined tree is maintained separately from the
source code of the actual Operating System and bundled applications.
Check out the supfile samples in /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ :

# DANGER! WARNING! LOOK OUT! VORSICHT!

# If you add any of the ports collections to this file, be sure to
# specify them like this:
#
# ports-all tag=.
#
# If you leave out the "tag=." portion, CVSup will delete all of
# the files in your ports tree. That is because the ports collections
# do not use the same tags as the main part of the FreeBSD source tree.

Just cvsup your ports tree daily, you'll pick up the new ports as the
maintainers fix/add them. You can then opt to reinstall ports already in
use on your system. If it's a new port install, you'll get the newest and
greatest automatically. /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade is great for
keeping track of this kind of thing.
I hope that sheds some light.
