No, I just couldn't find 'cvs2svn' in the default bin path.  Then looking
over the web page indicated earlier it appeared that some dependencies were
not specified, but you clarified all that above.  I guess it wouldn't hurt
to specify build or lib dependencies on 'gdbm' and 'coreutils' (but
coreutils can install with a 'g' prefix such as /opt/local/bin/gsort and
it's unlikely that cvs2svn will look for that).

Oh, I see.  (Maybe they should be using $pyPrefix to avoid a clash with the
general MacPorts $prefix?)

I now have a bash alias as a personal work-around:
alias
cvs2svn='/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/bin/cvs2svn'

Thanks!
