missing dependencies
RDEPEND="dev-lang/python[gdbm]" or berkdb

$ cvs2svn --help
ERROR: cvs2svn uses the anydbm package, which depends on lower level dbm
libraries.  Your system has dumbdbm, with which cvs2svn is known to have
problems.  To use cvs2svn, you must install a Python dbm library other than
dumbdbm or dbm.  See http://python.org/doc/current/lib/module-anydbm.html
for more information.
