I'm unclear what the problem is.

I have write access to a sourceforge project and I want to be able to switch
between anonymous CVS and CVS writing.

I want to use anonymous CVS when I'm updating my tree, but CVS writes when
checking something into the tree.

At the top level of the tree, I can do the following to update my tree:
cvs -d:pserver:ano...@cv...:/cvsroot/quake update

And the following to do writes (with CVS_RSH set to ssh):
cvs -d...@cv...:/cvsroot/quake commit

Once I do the write, I can do the former to reset CVS/Root to be the
anonymous version.  It's just that simple when your CVS tree isn't deep, but
it gets more complicated when you have a deep hierarchy.  If you are only
operating from the root, you are fine with this scenario.   If you are
running cvs commands from other directories, you'd have to use the cvs update
command in those directories to fix up CVS/Root
