You can't use the old sup tree. Without the CVS directories, cvs can't
know which files need to be merged and which are OK, so at best it
would download everything anyway. The checkout under /usr should work
if you move the sup "src" out of the way.

You could download and untar the source tarballs, and change all the
CVS/Root entries to :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.netbsd.org, or
anoncvs@anoncvs.netbsd.org for ssh, but that's probably not any
easier.
