Hi,

Please check http://www.netbsd.org/docs/current document page and use 
anoncvs to get source files from certain date:

cvs checkout -D 20090101-UTC src


Or to get most current one:

cvs checkout -P src


Binary current/head snaphots are kept for about a week to allow people to 
download them easily, and then deleted --- as far as i know.

Regards,
Cem
