Or:

fetch http://people.freebsd.org/~peter/cvsup-without-gui-16.1h.tbz
pkg_add cvsup-without-gui-16.1h.tbz

The biggest gotchas that I know of are:
1) compression does not work.
2) the gui doesn't work
3) cvsupd doesn't work
4) checkout mode is completely untested (I dont use it)

Besides that, it works fine for text mode (eg: cron) cvs repo updates.
