I did it this way.


#!/bin/sh 
FASTEST=$(fastest_cvsup -q -c us) 
sudo csup -h $FASTEST /usr/share/examples/cvsup/current-supfile 



However, before that I used to do (which seems more in line with what
you're doing, although still a bit different)


fastest_cvsup -c us > fcvs.txt
tail -3 fcvs.txt | head -1 | cut -d: -f2 > host
rm fcvs.txt
FASTEST=$(cat host)
sudo csup -h $FASTEST /usr/share/examples/cvsup/current-supfile 

You could of course, modify it for ports.  Rather than replacing the
server, I'm just using -h.


Hope this is of some use, even though it's not really answering your
question.

Buffy: I told you. I said end of the world. And you're like, 
'Pooh-pooh, Southern California, pooh-pooh.' 
Giles: I'm so very sorry. My contrition completely dwarfs the 
impending apocalypse.
