    Let's say you've mirrored the repository in /home/ncvs (like the default in
    cvs-supfile).

    On that machine, you mv /usr/src /usr/src.old.
    Then cd into /usr and:
    cvs -d/home/ncvs co -rYOUR_TAG_HERE src

    Edit /etc/make.conf:
    CVS_UPDATE= yes
    CVSROOT?= /home/ncvs

    Unset any SUP* variables to make the 'make update' target work correctly.
    Adjust the CVSROOT variable if you share the src mirror between machines. Have
    a look at the cvs(1) manpage for examples of that, allthough probably the
    best method is to have /home/ncvs available via NFS on the local network,
    because it doesn't require you to allow 'root' to ssh to other machines or
    setup a pserver.

    Remove /usr/src.old once your satisfied :)
