Could val-tags distributed then, as I see the following:

% ls -l /somewhere../[onf]bsd/CVSROOT/val-tags
-rw-r--r--  1 horio  horio    665 Aug 23 13:15 /somewhere../cvs/fbsd/CVSROOT/val-tags
-rw-r--r--  1 horio  horio   7877 Sep 17 02:09 /somewhere../cvs/nbsd/CVSROOT/val-tags
-rw-r--r--  1 horio  horio  10058 Sep 17 05:35 /somewhere../cvs/obsd/CVSROOT/val-tags
%

which are cvsupped on a freebsd machine with freebsd version of cvsup, so distributing
val-tags should not be difficult..
