Humm, I tried the following script...

#:: Set parameters to obtain the NetBSD sources, and download.
lastsrc () { # Return the dated path of the last netbsd-3 tgz
        echo "ls -rx" \
        | ftp -4 ftp://ftp.netbsd.net/pub/NetBSD-daily/netbsd-3/ \
        | awk '{print $1}'
        }
mkdir -p /usr/local/dist/netbsd-3
cd /usr/local/dist/netbsd-3
ftp ftp://ftp.netbsd.net/pub/NetBSD-daily/netbsd-3/$(lastsrc)/source/sets/src.tgz
cd /
tar xzf /usr/local/dist/netbsd-3/src.tgz
#:: Update the src archive, to the cvs tag.
cd /usr/src && cvs -q upd -dP

but given the amount of files being updated, I doubt very
seriously that snapshot contained recent source, or maybe there
is something else out of sync. It _seems_ it is updating every
file in src, there is already a new snapshot since I started the
update.
