I recently started using anonCVS, so here were my experiences:

Install cvs from pkgsrc
setenv CVSROOT :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.netbsd.org:/cvsroot
I already had a /usr/src as I had previously been using sup
cd /usr/src
cvs login (password anoncvs)
cvs checkout -P src-crypto-all

I then waited awhile ;-)

I then created a cron job to run every day at like 4am, with the only 
command being /root/docvs.

I created a text file (docvs) and put this in it:
-----
#!/bin/sh -

cd /usr
/usr/pkg/bin/cvs -q -d :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.netbsd.org:/cvsroot 
update -d -P
-----


Everything's seemed to be working fine since then :-)
