I think in this case it makes sense, as we need to run full regression
tests on all target platforms IMO.

You just should mark the start of the branch with

   cvs tag branch_feature_longint_offset_start

then create the branch tag itself

   cvs tag -b branch_feature_longint_offset

update your workspace to that branch

   cvs up -r branch_feature_longint_offset

and finally commit the changes

   cvs commit

This all assumes you've started on a fairly recent trunk and
there are no conflicts.
