Extract that to someplace, and use that directory as the CVSROOT
rather than the :pserver: string.  Ie, something like:

        cd ~
        mkdir cvsroot
        cd cvsroot
        tar xvzf /path/to/xfce-cvsroot.tar.gz
        cd ~
        mkdir xfce
        cvs -d ~/cvsroot/xfce co .
        cd xfce


You then need to dl the tar each time you want to update and replace
your cvsroot/xfce directory with the new tarfile's contents before
doing a 'cvs up' in the working dorectory.
