The best solution was suggested (and tested by me) by Lee Crites who suggested the use of the lndir command. lndir is part of the X distribution and is very handy. So for me, the soluttion is to readonly mount /usr/src from my cvsup host, then use lndir to mirror it correctly into /usr/src on the destination machine. I manually copy /usr/src/sys so that when the NFS mount goes away, I can build a kernel.
