Heh.  Well, the answer is in FAQ number 3.8, which --- naturally --- you 
would have if you didn't need the answer :-(

    3.8 Why do I get an error now when trying to do a "cvs update"?

    SourceForge changed things around a bit on Apr 29th, 2004.  The changes
    they made broke CVS for everyone.  The error message you get may look like
    the following:

        "Unknown host: cvs.xastir.sf.org"

    Luckily the fix is simple.  Run these commands from the top directory where
    you have the Xastir sources:

    find -name Root -path \*CVS\* -exec perl -pi.bak -e's/cvs.xastir.sf.net/cvs.
sf.net/' \{\} \;
    find -name Root -path \*CVS\* -exec perl -pi.bak -e's/cvs.xastir.sourceforge
.net/cvs.sf.net/' \{\} \;
--------------

This happened quite a while ago, I'm surprised you hadn't had problems before.
"cvs.xastir.sourceforge.net" no longer works, you need "cvs.sf.net."  The
find commands above should repair your CVS/Root files.
