I use svn myself but I have access to the main FreeBSD repo.

I don't know what portsnap does with things like .svn/.hg (from different VCS).  If it does not remove them, use hg/git/svn to "merge" from the official portsnap tree into your own.  If it does, just rsync periodically from portsnap into your /usr/ports.
