No, you need to convert from aout to Elf, so it's a little more
complicated. In fact, it's complicated enough that I'd recommend doing
a fresh install of 3.0 if that is at all possible for you.

I'd use:

*default host=cvsup.internat.FreeBSD.org
*default base=/usr prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_3_0_0_RELEASE
*default delete use-rel-suffix compress

src-all
doc-all tag=.
src-crypto
src-eBones
src-secure

You probably want the ports as well; if so, add:

ports-all tag=.

Take a look in /usr/share/examples/cvsup for other examples.

In any case, there's no reason not to go all the way and cvsup the
most recent -current (it's pretty stable these days); if you want to
do that, just change 'tag=RELENG_3_0_0_RELEASE' to 'tag=.' (in that
case you can remove the 'tag=.' on the doc-all and ports-all lines)
