It's standard.  It can be difficult if a new distribution has a
radically reorganized file tree, but since they are also using CVS,
that's not too likely.

Exactly.

    cvs import <repository> VENDOR release_1

                        cvs checkout <module>
                        cvs commit
                        cvs commit
                        cvs commit
                          ...

    cvs import <repository> VENDOR release_2

                        cvs update -jrelease_1 -jrelease_2
                        (fix conflicts)
                        cvs commit
                        cvs commit
                        cvs commit
                          ...

    cvs import <repository> VENDOR release_3

                        cvs update -jrelease_2 -jrelease_3
                        (fix conflicts)
                        cvs commit
                          ...
