Thanks for the response.

However, I'm trying to avoid having to download the entire cvs tree
considering I only need the source 5.5 Release or 6.2 Release. The ports
tree would be great as well.

The CVS Repository is 3.1 GB which is a rather large amount for us to
download.

If you're running a local cvsup mirror, just grab the whole cvs tree for
the sources (and the ports).  You can leave out the bug database, and a
few other distributions, but it's probably not worth your while to get
the checked-out sources instead of the cvs files.
