There is no CVS module named 'XEmacs'. All the XEmacs-related modules
happen to be in a directory named 'XEmacs', so your command worked
accidentally.
To get the latest xemacs-21.2 from CVS, do:
cvs -z3 -d :pserver:xemacs＠cvs.xemacs.org:/usr/CVSroot checkout -d
xemacs-21.2 -r release-21-2 xemacs
Aha! Yes, that's working. Thanks.
And now, it would probably be good if someone updated the instructions
on http://cvs.emacs.org to reflect this info.

I can't find a `CVSrooy' anywhere in the master repository. A random
bit got flipped somewhere?
Could be ... ??? But I think it's somewhere in the CVS tree because
I ran the command several times with the "t" and not the "y", but I
kept getting this result.
Oh well ... no big deal. All's well that ends well.
Thanks again.
