Yes, it's possible. I should eventually change the cvs wrapper
program to allow both paths.

Yes, it should work. You can either:
- extract all tarballs and then do a cvs update, or
- get the sources via a 'cvs checkout src'. The src module is an alias which
  will pull down all required modules.

is documented in http://www2.fr.netbsd.org/Documentation/current/#using-anoncvs
