It has a selected subset (TrustedBSD, SMPng, KSE, I believe). There's a lot of stuff in the Perforce repo, and CVS exports of Perforce trees are less storage efficient because of the name space / branching issue. There was a web server running on perforce.freebsd.org exporting the contents, but it had some problems and Peter hasn't gotten to updating it yet. Developers are selectively exporting branches; for example, I export netperf as patch sets on my web page: http://www.watson.org/~robert/freebsd/netperf/ (FYI, there's now an RSS feed of my change log there :-).
