In ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/devel/ you can find a cvs client that can connect 
through a firewall, now it depends a bit on how strict your firewall is.

1) If it allows you to CONNECT to random ports you are ok.
2) If it allows you to CONNECT to the default https port only, you can run a 
forwarder on the https port of some other machine.
3) If it doesn't allow CONNECT at all you can use a forwarder in combination 
with IP-over-HTTP. (It's no joke)

Cheers,
Waldo
