Simplest method would be to set up CVS_ROOT and do this:

	cd /usr
	rm -rf src
	cvs checkout -D 19991223-UTC src

This will reproduce the sources (minus the included diffs) that were used
to build all the 19991223 snapshots on the ftp server.

If you only need kernel sources, replace 'src' with 'syssrc' in the above
and you'll get a subset of the 'src' tree which only has:
	syssrc/sys
	syssrc/usr.sbin/config
	syssrc/usr.sbin/dbsym
