As others have mentioned, you can check out arbitrary revisions with
CVS.  You should probably check out RELENG_4_3, which is 4.3 with all
of fixes that were ever applied to it.  But, of course, 4.3 is no
longer supported, and there are probably known vulnerabilities, so
it's probably not a good idea to actually run FreeBSD 4.3.
