Updating ports

I'm stuck with a mouse bug (freezes while typing text) and I was told
updating latest XFree86 might help.

Ok. I'm running 4.8 release. How should I update my ports-tree?
I tried cvsup.

Manual says there is only a current branch for the ports collection.
(cvsup: tag=.) If I give tag=RELENG_4, it only deletes the port
directories.

Is it possible to update the ports tree to stable branch at all, i.e.
"current" 4 stable?

I have only a modem connection and I would like to avoid updating
everything and would like to stay within stable-branch.


Thanks for any help!!
