csup is written in C; it does not use Modula3/ezm3.  cvsup uses Modula3/ezm3.

cvsup4, despite having a public IPv6 address, does not have the cvsup
server bound to IPv6.  Meaning: it's IPV4 only.

Try a different server.  Get a list (in sh/bash):

for i in `jot 30 1`; do echo "==> cvsup$i" ; (host cvsup$i.freebsd.org) | grep -i ipv6; done
