Let me make sure I understand the problem. You have a
preexisting directory /etc/httpd, whose contents you want to
track using CVS. Of course, the directory has to stay at its
current location because that's where Apache or whatever is
looking for it. /usr/cvs is your $CVSROOT.
If that's correct, what you have to do is:
#
# Import the files (I guess you've done this part already)
#
cd /etc/httpd
cvs import httpd_conf <vendor-tag> <release-tag>
#
# Get a NEW copy of the files from CVS.
#
cd ..
cvs co -d httpd-new httpd_conf
#
# The previous step created /etc/httpd-new, which should
# be an exact copy of /etc/httpd, except for:
# - CVS subdirectories
# - $Id$ and other keywords will have been changed,
# unless you specified -ko to the "cvs co" command
# - File ownerships and permissions (CVS can preserve
# some of the latter, but probably not all)
# - Symlinks will NOT have been preserved
# Since (I presume) these config files are for a live
# server, you'll probably want to convince yourself that
# CVS didn't munge anything.
#
diff -r httpd httpd-new
# fix up httpd-new's ownerships, permissions, and
# symlinks as necessary
#
# Now, switch httpd-new into service as the live version,
# keeping the pre-CVS copy as a backup
#
mv httpd httpd-old
mv httpd-new httpd

There are no extra files; the main CVS binary will suffice.
Though someone's mentioned a program for maintainging pserver
password files; search the mailing-list archives.

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not
necessarily a good idea.
