Yes, it is sufficient. There must be some other problem, either with the 
way you checkout the files or with your environment.
Normally, I build using this method  (which requires having a local 
mirror of the cvs repo):

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/fdp-primer/the-website.html#THE-WEBSITE-CVSUP

But you may also use the simple csup method here:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/fdp-primer/the-website.html#THE-WEBSITE-CSUP

(as I recall, this was my write up...)
I tried this on my second system today and it stopped because CVSROOT 
was pointing to some non-existent directory (leftover in my environemt). 
But setting CVSROOT to the same directory as the checked out files 
worked fine.

So, just for testing, and to rule out any software problem, try using 
this sample supfile:

*default host=cvsup10.FreeBSD.org
*default base=/var/db
*default prefix=/home/eitan/build
*default release=cvs tag=.
*default delete use-rel-suffix
*default compress
doc-all
www
ports-base

(Note: you may have to run csup as root or adjust permissions on 
/var/db/sup to run as user.  In any case just do a chown -R eitan 
~/build to make sure you can write there)

Then (assuming bash)
export CVSROOT=/home/eitan/build
cd ~/build/www/en
make all

and it should all work fine.
