I tried this but i get this error:
Code: 
# sudo portdowngrade sysutils/conky

portdowngrade 0.6 by Heiner Eichmann
Please note, that nothing is changed in the ports tree
unless it is explicitly permitted in step 6!

Seeking port sysutils/conky ... 

Found several matches:
1: sysutils/conky
2: sysutils/conky-awesome

Please choose one: 1

Downgrading port: sysutils/conky

Step 1: Checking out port from CVS repository
No CVS root directory set! Please use the -s option.

cvs checkout: No CVSROOT specified!  Please use the `-d' option
cvs [checkout aborted]: or set the CVSROOT environment variable.
portdowngrade error: Can not check out port sysutils/conky

An error had occured. If this was an cvs error, try another cvs server.
If this was an cvs login error, try the -o option.

Well, simply do what the massage suggests. Specify CVSROOT or set
the CVSROOT environment variable . How? Follow the link.
 
I read it but i cannot understand what i must to do.
I see ncvs, .cvsroot ect. But i don't speak very good english and i try but i am not getting the point what exactly i must do.
Well i will try again.
 
i use this environment variable:
Code: 
CVSROOT=anoncvs@anoncvs1.FreeBSD.org:/home/ncvs
. works for me. export CVSROOT into your environment in the correct syntax for your shell, or use the -s switch and drop the variable name. there may be a "closer" cvs server to you. docs will probably offer suggestions.
