This worked for me. E.g.,

$ cd /usr/pkgsrc/net
$ ls -d t*
…
tcpdpriv                tightvncviewer          transmission-gtk
tcpdstat                tinc                    transmission-qt
tcpdump                 tinyfugue               trickle
…
$ ls -d T*
Transmission
$ ls -F Transmission/
CVS/     patches/
$ sudo vi CVS/Entries
(removed the Transmission entry and saved)
$ sudo rm -r Transmission/
$ sudo cvs update -dPA transmission
$ ls -F transmission
CVS/                    Makefile.common         patches/
DESCR                   PLIST
Makefile                distinfo
$ uname -a
Darwin abbor-mac.local 13.2.0 Darwin Kernel Version 13.2.0: Thu Apr 17 23:03:13

A subsequent "cvs update" worked as expected.
