You don't need cvsup anymore. It's replacement csup is part of the base

That's OK. I tend to follow 7-STABLE (RELENG_7) in case there are
significant improvement, but that's a matter of taste. I've been using
-STABLE for years without issues.

No.

I've got CPUTYPE=athlon64 in my make.conf, but IIRC it is not required.

I put WITHOUT_LIB32=true and WITHOUT_PROFILE=true in /etc/src.conf to
prevent the system from building stuff that I don't use anyway. If you
want to run FreeBSD i386 binaries, you'll need the 32 bit libs, of course.
