              If you set CVS_UPDATE in make.conf you can update system source files by CVS system. If you want to change the CVS server you can set the CVSROOT, but the code in Makefile.inc1 did not take that parameter.

Fix: Apply this little patch and now (if you define CVSROOT var) cvs use new server address, otherwise it update from the default server!
How-To-Repeat:               cd /usr/src; make -DCVS_UPDATE -DCVSROOT=xxx
the new XXX server is ignored.

CVSROOT is special environment variable that is already 
set in environment for many people, and enforcing it 
through the -d option may upset some of them. 

What you want is already possible by doing 
make -DCVS_UPDATE CVS="cvs -d xxx"
