Use something like rdist (in the base system) or rsync (in the ports). If you're using cvs you can configure the servers to check the source out once an hour or whenever you choose. We have our servers set to check out files that have a 'stable' tag every 15 minutes. I'll probably change to rdist/rsync somewhen soon; I prefer being able to push the code to the servers rather than waiting for them to pull it down at a certain time.
