tailor (http://wiki.darcs.net/index.html/Tailor) does a good job for
converting fairly straightforward cvs repositories.

By straightforward, I mean mostly-mainline development.  I was able,
for instance, to convert an internal development project of 3K+
commits that had no branches just fine. I was unable, though, to
convert the gnucash-2 branch of the gnucash repository.

I don't know that there's anything all that great for the odd cases.
The gcc people recently converted to svn, and their cvs-to-svn script
was obviously able to cope with some heavy-duty exploitation of CVS,
so it is at least theoritically possible to do these sorts of high
quality conversions.
