from my previous message:

I never heard of using csup with NetBSD but found csup in pkgsrc/net category, 
not part of base system.

I used csup with FreeBSD to update the system source, but that was deprecated 
in favor of svn following a security breach.

According to the NetBSD Guide, cvs is used to update pkgsrc: cvs up -dP

More info in the NetBSD Guide and pkgsrc guide.

Update: I just found on ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/README.sup

                           SUP is deprecated
please use anoncvs or rsync from anoncvs.netbsd.org and its mirrors,
             or get the source tar ball from ftp instead.
