It means the same thing it would mean under any other unix-like
operating system.

Should have written "export modulo ${SHELL}".

Try

cd /usr
rm -fr /usr/src
cvs -d anoncvs@anoncvs.netbsd.org:/cvsroot co -r netbsd-1-6 -P src

Also, remember to set CVS_RSH to ssh, using the appropriate technique
for your shell (ie export if it's a bourne-like shell, setenv if it's a
csh etc.).

Using google and the manual pages to look up any errors like the above
might prove helpful, too.
