	Though that would only affect ports/packages you've installed, and not 
the rest of your system.

	I regularly cvsup /usr/ports and /usr/src and use "portupgrade -arR" to 
upgrade my ports and "make buildworld && make buildkernel 
KERNCONF=GENERIC && make installkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC && make 
installworld" to update the rest of my system.

	I still consider myself very new to most of this, though, so I'm not 
certain, but I think the system should be able to determine your CPUTYPE 
automatically, without needing it hardcoded in make.conf.  I think you 
should only need to use this directive if for some reason it's 
improperly detecting your cpu type.  Hopefully someone can confirm or 
disprove that for you, though.
