I have never tried myself, but I seem to recall hearing problems over
the years with running cvsupd on OS's other than FreeBSD, so I
wouldn't be too hopeful in getting it running.

One thing you might be able to try is running 32bit instead of 64bit.
Even on FreeBSD cvsupd 64bit is problematic (for some users).
