Given a cvsup hierarchy at (say) /usr/current/cvs, you can build different
kernel releases with

CVSROOT=/usr/current/src cvs co -D 970101 src/sys
CVSROOT=/usr/current/src cvs co -D 961201 src/sys
.....

You can also use specific cvs tags:

CVSROOT=/usr/current/src cvs co -r RELENG_2_2 src/sys
.....
