First, you should run csup (which is now part of the base system)
instead of the cvsup port. 

Then try one of the mirrors in say Greece or Italy or France.

If that doesn't work, check that your firewall or router aren't blocking
things.

That won't work at all with the standard cvs-supfile, which uses CVS
mode.  

 Then try one of the mirrors in say Greece or Italy or France.

 If that doesn't work, check that your firewall or router aren't blocking
 things. 

That's almost certainly the problem.

And what mode does csup use that is different?

The supfile that I successfully used with csup says 
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_7.

The standard supfile shouldn't work unmodified anyway. The host
CHANGE_THIS.FreeBSD.org doesn't resolve. Which is probably for the best :)

check-out only, for the moment. The csup author already has posted work 
on -hackers for repo-copy mode a few months back.

The OP mentions cvs-supfile, which 
suggests /usr/share/examples/cvsup/cvs-supfile. This supfile repo copies the 
entire FreeBSD cvs repository. To get anything useful, it needs to be checked 
out again, using cvs.
This is mainly used for mirroring and if you want to get different branches to 
a machine in one download, maintain local patches etc.

Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules
and never get to the software part.
