  To get the latest sources you should use sup or cvs.  Check out the
documentation section on http://www.netbsd.org for information about
how to use these.  Personally I use cvs for src so that I can see the
logs, and sup for everything else.  I also explained this process a
bit on my rapidly growing howto :

  Yes it does.  You should check out 'pkgsrc' with sup.  'man sup'.  I
used the port system to build cvs which is what I now use to track
development.
