I'm not sure I understand your question. In fact, you should only checkout to
in an empty directory. Once you have a CVS tree, you can update using
cvs -q -d $CVSROOT up -dPA -r pkgsrc-<QNAME>
(the -A will make sure you reset any sticky tags)
to get the HEAD, just do
cvs -q -d $CVSROOT up -dPA 

this way you can update a branch, or move from one branch to another.
