This tag (RELENG_5_3) is for system cvsup not for ports cvsup. In case
of system cvsup tag=. means to get 6.0-CURRENT. For ports cvsup (which
is what I presume you want) tag=. is correct.

I would recommend you to use also -b switch in portupgrade (like
-abrR) to preserve replaced version of software you are upgrading.
Cheers,
