Others questions have been anserwed, I'll just comment on this one.
I would be good practice tu use cvs mirrors instead of the master,
which tend to be overloaded (especially when security fixes have just
been commited); when mirrors tends to be underused. Or at last know to to
swicth to a mirror.

To use a cvs mirror, you can just force the CVSROOT to the one you want on
the command line (I assume the proper CVSROOT for the mirror is
anoncvs@anoncvs.xx.netbsd.org:/cvsroot)
cvs -d anoncvs@anoncvs.xx.netbsd.org:/cvsroot up -dPA

The problem of this is that the repository now has references to both
the old CVSROOT and the new CVSROOT. To switch permanently you may
just do:
echo "anoncvs@anoncvs.xx.netbsd.org:/cvsroot" > /tmp/Root
find /usr/src /usr/pkgsrc -path '*/CVS/Root' -exec cp /tmp/Root {} \;
