The CVS marker is "pkgsrc-2004Q3" so you have to specify the version you
want like this

  cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.de.NetBSD.org:/cvsroot login
  [ Password is anoncvs ]
  cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.de.NetBSD.org:/cvsroot co -r pkgsrc-2004Q3 pkgsrc

Afterwards, the usual "cvs update" is sufficient because the version
was recorded in the CVS directories on your disk.
