If you just edit your supfile and change the tag to say RELENG_5_1 and then re-run the cvsup(1) job, it should get you the 5.1-RELEASE sources you require. If you're completely paranoid about things, you could remove the whole of the contents of /usr/src and re-cvsup from scratch, but that will suck up a whole load of bandwidth, put a good deal of load on the cvsup servers and probably take rather longer than is really convenient, so don't do that without good reason.

To move to -stable from where you are, you can just "rm -r /usr/src" and recvsup with the corrected supfile. You're pretty much safe until you do a installkernel and/or installworld.
