When you import the files into the other CVS system the version and file
information $Id$ represents will be replaced by the other system. So,
when you diff the original (primary repository) EVERY file will show
$Id$ has changed.

$VARIABLE$ is used for informational purposes only AFAIK. There would be
no change that I know of.
At work I use $InQuent$, FreeBSD of course uses $FreeBSD$ of which other
BSDs follow suite $NetBSD$ and $OpenBSD$. I've not heard of any issues
with 3rd party CVS clients and any of those repositories in this regard.
