Yeah, these get cvs exported, historically, but I'm thinking about just
checking them out in the future so that you can easily update them with
a reachable CVS repository (local or over NFS - CDROM is unfortunately
out for now since cvs requires a R/W repository and unionfs doesn't work
until 3.0 [with unionfs, you could "write" on the CD easily]).  I did
this with the ports distribution, you'll probably notice.

Actually, the source tree is older than the CVS tree - see the notes in
the CVS repository directory.  You can just blow away your /usr/src and
check it out again (assuming, again, you can copy that repository to
someplace writable :).

Hmmm.  Good question. :)  The original importer wasn't very clear on
this port in his commit message. :(

Hmmm.  What happens if you take the zip and DAT drives off?
