I apologize, in your original email I thought that you were looking for an intro to setting up CVS. If there is already a CVS repository set up, you'll need to use a CVS client to access it. There is no mixing and matching Subversion and CVS.
The only tip I can offer for working with a CVS repository is that TortoiseCVS is a great generic client that can be used: http://www.tortoisecvs.org/ I'm sure some other folks around here have used it more extensively. TortoiseCVS has some decent built-in help, as far as explaining what the different functions do.
