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 :)
