Probably not with the way you have things set up now.
You can do this if you either
a) Make at least one copy of /usr/src (say, /usr/src.1), download the
new source, and do a recursive diff on the two directories.
b) If you've got the disk space (~350MB for the repository, and ~150MB
for a checked out copy of /usr/src, so a total of ~500MB) you could
use CVSup to download the entire repository. You can then use the
CVS commands to get diffs between the source code versions.
Of course, both these approaches will tell you what code's changed. Unless
your happy reading the code, it *won't* tell you why it's changed, or what
the overall effect is.
