In hope of saving some trouble for others,
This seems to have worked for me (after installing mercurial):
 cd ...
 hg clone http://clisp.hg.sourceforge.net:8000/hgroot/clisp/clisp
I notice some differences between the resulting directory and the 
one I had from cvs.  All of these seem to be missing from hg:
 acorn, amiga, cygwin32, dos, dosdjgpp, doswatcom, ffcall, libcharset,
 libiconv, nextapp, os2, queued, sigsegv, win32bc, win32gcc 

It looks like
 cd ...
 hg update
at least does something plausible (reports no changes).
My configure and make commands do seem to work there.
So I'll assume, unless I hear otherwise, that the two lines
above are the answer to my question.

(So why does the sourceforge page contain that instruction?)
