You should be able to just do:
cd /usr/src
cvs update -dPA -r netbsd-5
cd /usr/xsrc
cvs update -dPA -r netbsd-5

as the source sets contains the administrative CVS files pointing to
anoncvs.
If this doens't work, just use
'cvs -d anoncvs%anoncvs.netbsd.org@localhost:/cvsroot ...'
instead of 'cvs ...'
