check-out only, for the moment. The csup author already has posted work 
on -hackers for repo-copy mode a few months back.

The OP mentions cvs-supfile, which 
suggests /usr/share/examples/cvsup/cvs-supfile. This supfile repo copies the 
entire FreeBSD cvs repository. To get anything useful, it needs to be checked 
out again, using cvs.
This is mainly used for mirroring and if you want to get different branches to 
a machine in one download, maintain local patches etc.

Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules
    and never get to the software part.
