If you can ssh through your firewall then you can use scp. You can even tunnel other ports over the single ssh connection (e.g. X). CVS isn't a network protocol. You generally run it using remote shell tools, in the CVS manual it allows you to specifify how with the CVS_RSH evrionment variable. r* tools are bad.
