thanks! as it turned out, i blew a whole day figuring out how to do it in
wincvs and then later discovered tortoisecvs for myself. for the record, all
i had to do (with both) to get it to connect w/ keys on a non-standard port
was to install putty, and create a session with the private key and the
non-standard port. then in <whatever>cvs, i reffered to that session by name
instead of the hostname.
also note that putty-generated keys are not compatible with OpenSSH. you have
to run the following on the server side to populate authorized_keys:
$ ssh-keygen -i -f <public_key_from_windows_box> >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
