That page lists

1- python (which is a port dependency)
2- db library and python bindings (python26 port builds with db46 and  
gdbm already)
3- gnu sort (comes with mac os x)

optionally can use rcs or cvs if you pass in appropriate options (and  
you can pass the path to those binaries). both cvs and rcs are  
included with Mac OS X (or you could install a macports version if you  
wanted and point cvs2svn to them).

did you notice something broken?

cvs2svn used to install to ${prefix}/bin but the python26 portgroup  
sets prefix to ${frameworks_dir}/Python.framework/Versions/2.6

presumably this is so that one could install a cvs2svn against  
python26 and one against another version of python...

Linking cvs2bzr, cvs2git, and cvs2svn to ${prefix}/bin would be one  
possible solution ...
