FreeBSD CVS tag

Hi!
I may ask a strange question: Examining the FreeBSD source code, I
noticed very early that the CVS entry is a bit different from what
I knew from my own work; here:
$Id$ contains the file name only
$Header$ contains the file name within the CVS hierarchy,
but there,
$FreeBSD$ contains the file name with a sub-path.
Furthermore, $FreeBSD$ seems to be a kind of "custom tag".
Examples, what I know, full path or no path:
$Header: /home/poly/cvs/src/inet/uni/index.html,v 1.7 2002/11/21 16:31:39 poly Exp $
$Id: stap.c,v 0.1 2003/10/03 12:28:13 poly Exp $";
Examples, custom tag and sub-path:
$Xorg: Xresources,v 1.3 2000/08/17 19:54:17 cpqbld Exp $
^^^^
$FreeBSD: src/include/stdlib.h,v 1.65 2007/07/04 00:00:38 scf Exp $
^^^^^^^^^^^^
My questions:
1. How is it possible to include a sub-path in the CVS file field, but
not the absolute path of the file?
2. How is it possible to change $Id$ or $Header$ to a custom string,
let's say the name of a company or a project, by not breaking (!)
the CVS compatibility (no s/Header/Foobar/).
Example for goal:
$StupidProject: src/mouse/beep.pl,v 1.2.4 2008/16/32 04:08:16 bob Exp $
Is it possible with simple means? Or do I need a custom version of
CVS for this?
