Yes, it appears so, as far as 4.10-RELEASE concerns.

Assuming you have setenv CVSROOT /somewhere, where /somewhere has
"tolerably recent" cvs repository,

% cd /tmp
% cvs get -r RELENG_4_10 src/sys/conf/newvers.sys
U src/sys/conf/newvers.sh
% ls -l src/sys/conf/newvers.sh
-rw-r--r--  1 horio  wheel  3400 Jul  1 02:33 src/sys/conf/newvers.sh
% grep ^BRANCH src/sys/conf/newvers.sys
BRANCH="RELEASE-p2"
%
