Incremental upgrades can be done using cvs and then recompiling
the kernel, running build.sh to rebuild userland, and etcupdate
to update your configuration files. Actually, other than the
somewhat higher complexity of cvs compared to cvsup, the
proceedure is simpler than FreeBSD. Actually, you can use
cvsup too to upgrade your source, pkgsrc, and xsrc tree rather
than cvs or sup if your architecture can run it.

Look under http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation to rtem (read
the excellent manual. :-) )
