Hi,

If I were you I would cvsup the entire repository (for src-all).
Then I would set up chroot-ed environments for each world 
you want to build.  When you want to do a build checkout the
version you want to your chroot-ed /usr/src directory.
There are more details @ /usr/src/UPDATING.  In your chroot
environment you'll need everything for doing a build
(libraries, headers, etc.).  What worked well for me was
duplicating the base system root directories.  One nice
thing about this, for instance, is that you can have
customized /etc/make.conf files.  With this setup you can
even do a chroot-ed install world, make dist, etc.  There
are hints for this in UPDATING as well.

Best Regards,

Duane Whitty
