        You probably want to run a 'make install' in /usr/src/share/mk

        Download the toplevel Makefile from
        ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-current/src/Makefile

        cvs is available as part of 'othersrc'. Its used by people
        committing to the tree, and is a useful tool if you are planning
        on maintaining local changes to a source tree, but its not needed
        if all you plan to do is tract -current.

        The best place to look would be in:
        ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/sup/
