At work we use CVS exensively, and we've had 'strange' problems using CVS 1.10 on repositories built with CVS 1.9 when mixing different versions of the cvs binary. (The remote version is different from the local version, etc...) I'm not (yet) convinced that CVS 1.10 is ready for use in mixed environments, and since CVS 1.9 is the default FreeBSD version, I wouldn't switch.
