For running any application that requires internet access (including svn/cvs for repositories outside IIT), you need to first open up a web browser and log in to the proxy server. After this, use the proxy server address and the port for the individual application. You do not need to provide the username and the password for the application as long as you are logged in using a web browser.
I don't think that the port is blocked. There might be some issues with some applications because of some non-standard HTTP request methods. (I know SVN uses some non-standard HTTP methods). I suspect that there is such an issue with CVS. Try doing the authentication in the browser and providing proxy-address and port to CVS.
