The 'cvs login' part looks good.

After that, you'll need to cd into your src directory. Once you do that, 
your CVS command will look like this:

# cd src
# cvs -d $CVSROOT update -PAd

You need to do this from within the src directory because the 'cvs 
update' command looks for the CVS directory in your current directory to 
find the list of Entries to update. Note that if the CVSROOT is correct 
in the CVS directories within your source tree, you can reduce that 
command to simply:

# cvs update -PAd

(I haven't checked whether the CVSROOT that's in the CVS directories in 
the tarballs is appropriate; you could find out by just doing a 'cat 
CVS/Root' from the top-level src directory, for instance, and verify 
that it contains exactly ":pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.netbsd.org:/cvsroot".)
