Hi,

This is because cvsup-without-gui is a meta port which does not have
the information a normal port has.  Because of that it is not parseable
by the website.

I hope this is a sufficient explaination, if you need more please
read the archives, this had been discussed before.

Apart from that: Thanks for the notice! We appriciate the effort
you took to report this.
