Greetings!!
You would want to look into cvsup, and use it to pull the entire source
repository down to your distribution machine, and let cvsup on the other
machines connect to it for updating their individual source trees. Check
out the handbook for starters, and dig deeper from there.
I'm sure there are other ways of doing this, but this seems to me the
easiest.
