The quick answer is yes:

make release CHROOTDIR=/data/release \
BUILDNAME=7.1-PRERELEASE \
CVSROOT=/data/ncvs \
EXTSRCDIR=/usr/src \
-DNODOC -DNOPORTS \
-DNO_FLOPPIES \
-DMAKE_ISOS

Note the EXTSRCDIR that points to /usr/src. You still have to supply
CVSROOT which need not exist, and will not be used
