It isn't supported but you can do it if you want to put the work into it.

I'm in the same boat, more or less.

Easier said then done.

No.  The only way to really do this is to go back and grab a (hopefully)
stable snapshot of CVS from right before the menu change was made.  Then
if you need patches since then, carefully merge them in.

This is basically what I did, in that I stopped doing normal CVS updates
once the menu change was made.  I still merge in as many changes as I
can, but this is a lot of work, and in some modules (e.g. turba) I've had
to pretty much just give up and stop updating it.

I run an actual current CVS checkout in parallel with it (as well as 
RELENG checkouts and tarball installs, but that is another matter).

I'm sure people are wondering why I do this...

The reason I do this is that I created a User's Guide for the old style,
and can't switch to the new layout until I get a new User's Guide for
the new style.  But I can't update the User's Guide completely, since it
is really meant for others to use with the current release which is 
still the old style. So my code is stuck in the past due to the docs
and my desire to share the docs with others (which hasn't actually
happened yet).
