You obviously have way too much free time. :-)

You can do that anyway. Remember the "*default" lines in the
cvsupfile only set defaults; they can be overridden for individual
collections. For example (omitting the irrelevant boilerplate):
*default tag=.
src-all tag=RELENG_3
ports-all
doc-all
will get you the current versions of the ports and docs, plus the
-stable source tree.
You can even get two different versions of the source tree in a
single run. Just make sure you tell CVSup to put them in different
places:
src-all tag=RELENG_3 prefix=/usr/stable
src-all tag=. prefix=/usr/current
The only thing you can't do in a single run is contact more than one
server. Maybe some day ...

You mean _had_ sitting around. :-)
