You need the entire CVS repository to build a release. When it says CVSROOT it means the top directory of the repository (you should see directories like 'src' and 'doc' in there). It so happens that there's also a directory called CVSROOT, which isn't directly related to what it's referring to (although its presence is required for `make release`). I believe there should be documentation in the Handbook on how to get the repository. Failing that, take a look at /usr/share/examples/cvsup/cvs-supfile.
