Actually this is the first time I have seen the "export" command for cvs!

Anyway, this is what I would do.  Suppose my repository is at
/usr/home/stephen/svn.  Then the first time I would run the commands

cd where-I-want-to-put-it
svn co file:///usr/home/stephen/svn/base/release/9.1.0 src
svn co file:///usr/home/stephen/svn/ports/branches/RELENG_9_1_0 ports
svn co file:///usr/home/stephen/svn/doc/release/9.1.0 doc

I suspect that you could use export in place of co (checkout).

Look at http://svn.freebsd.org/ to see what are the allowables after
base, ports or doc.

If you used checkout, then you could update it late with

cd where-I-want-to-put-it
svn up src ports doc

where up is short for update.

By far the majority of the resources go to ctm-cvs-cur.  The resources
for src-4 and src-5 are really quite small.  So just for you, I'll keep
it going.  If you ever no longer need src-4 or src-5 email me on this
mailing list (so that if anyone else still wants it I will keep it going).
