yes, there is nothing to do.  no cvs/svn foo occurs during the install.
rancid-cvs creates, but only those that do not exist.  your rancid.conf
will not (unless you're using a pkg system thats altered the scripts) be
overwritten.

The only things that have changed with cvs over time is
- svn added
- router.db added to cvs
- the default repository location moved to make linux people happier

all before 2.3
