Usually it means you are trying to run svn on a directory that was not 
created by an svn checkout.  These directories are called working 
copies.

So, after having backed up /usr/src and /usr/ports (if you have local 
changes), remove them and check out from the repository:

   svn checkout svn://svn0.us-west.freebsd.org/base/stable/9 /usr/src
   svn checkout svn://svn0.us-west.freebsd.org/ports/head /usr/ports

Edit the URL for the first to match whatever version of FreeBSD is 
desired.

After that checkout, merge any local changes back to those directories. 
After that, update them when desired:

   svn up /usr/src
   svn up /usr/ports
