For example, /usr/ports/sysutils/fileutils/ has just a README.html file in it.  I just ran cvsup to update my ports tree and no change.  I checked at http://www.freebsd.org/ports/ and could only search up to the 5.1-RELEASE ports tree.

Not random. Those ports got moved/renamed/removed to something else. For
example, fileutils got renamed to coreutils. Look up those ports in
freshports.org to see what happened to them:

For fileutils:
  http://www.freshports.org/sysutils/fileutils

Just put the relative path of the port and prepend
http://www.freshports.org/ to it. Ie.,
  http://www.freshports.org/graphics/gimp1
