Yes.

The cvs website contains the entire repository, so it shows -current and
can also show every revision.  The web access tool is very useful, as it
can show you logs of every change made to every collection since incept.
e.g.: http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/ports/www/Makefile?annotate=1.279
shows that www/rt was added to ports/www/Makefile in revision 1.265, and
http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/ports/www/Makefile/ shows that was
done on March 19.

When you checkout a tree from a repository with an OPENBSD_X_Y tag, you
are checking out the -stable tree.  You can also checkout other trees,
such as -release (OPENBSD_X_Y_BASE), or -current at a particular date and
time (e.g.: -D "2007-06-01 16:00").

You will probably find cvs(1) very helpful in understanding what you have, 
though cvsup in checkout mode does not produce the CVS structures you would
have in a true cvs working directory.
