I do it twice and cvsup my mirror about every 4 hours. My cronjob fires 
off uports. It is

ruby# cat uports
#! /bin/sh
export 
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/root/bin
cd /root/cvsup
cvsup -g -L 2 ports-supfile 2>&1 | tee /var/log/build/ports_cvsup.log

cd /var/log/build

# Now convert the log to html`
cvsuplog < ports_cvsup.log > ports-`date "+%Y%m%d-%H%M"`.html

# Now update the index pages.
cd /usr/ports
#
# make bzip2 backup and save 4 old ones for the days when make index
# is broken
#
rm INDEX.3.bz2
mv INDEX.2.bz2 INDEX.3.bz2
mv INDEX.1.bz2 INDEX.2.bz2
mv INDEX.0.bz2 INDEX.1.bz2
bzip2 -c INDEX > INDEX.0.bz2
#
# make new INDEX
#
make index 2>&1 | tee /var/log/build/make-index-`date 
"+%Y%m%d-%H%M"`.log
portsdb -u

I could do the && thing but I want the log more than I care if it runs 
or not. I could cut back on some of the tee but I see mail after it 
runs.
