The FreeBSD handbook covers doing it with CTM as well, which should be
accessible via FTP and maybe HTTP.  Specific file versions can be
obtained in a number of ways, according to the FreeBSD web site, and
it's possible that you might be able to use cvs through your firewall,
even if you can't use cvsup.
