Okay, it is working now that I set "CVS_RSH=ssh". Since the cvsroot
doesn't have ":pserver:" prefix, this needs to be set. This isn't
documented very clearly for packages.html#setting_up_pkgsrc

Please consider adding to method 3 (ftp):

    The pkgsrc tarfile contains the CVS support files, so it can be
    used for cvs updates without having to check out the module. The
    cvsroot doesn't contain the ":pserver:" prefix, so you can set
    CVS_RSH to "ssh" in your environment before doing the
    <tt>cvs update -d -P</tt>
    <p>

Of course, other notes could be added to indicate if the CVS/Root files
can be changed to use ":pserver:" or the location changed. Maybe this
should all be mentioned in Packages.txt too.
