The current version allows you to specify a port number in CVSROOT:
http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs_2.html#SEC26
If that's not set, it uses the value of the $CVS_CLIENT_PORT environment
variable. If that's not set, it uses the getservbyname() library
routine to look up the port assigned (typically in /etc/services) to
"cvspserver". Only if that's not set does it finally default to the
hard-coded value (CVS_AUTH_PORT). Older versions did not allow the port
in CVSROOT and may not have looked at $CVS_CLIENT_PORT.
