The best way I know to look up tags is by cvs web.....
http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/

At the bottom of the page you will see a drop down menu. I think you want
netbsd-5-0-2-RELEASE
or more likely
netbsd-5-0
or the stable tag
netbsd-5

An explanation of the tags is here: 
http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/sys/


The command you want is probably
cvs -qd $CVSROOT co -r $TAG -P src/sys
but in most cases you would use
cvs -qd $CVSROOT co -r $TAG -P src
even if you aren't building a distribution,
the doc and tools are handy.
