Part of the migration process involves a test deployment that you can
then sit and play with.
Looking at POI, you seem to have one codebase so the following
strategy looks very likely to be the best:
jakarta/
poi/
branches/
tags/
trunk/
SVN changes the name HEAD to trunk/.
I'm unsure if you'd want src/contrib to be in its own trunk etc; you
can do things like:
jakarta/
poi/
core/
branches/
tags/
trunk/
contrib/
branches/
tags/
trunk/
or something; but the first one seems most likely for cvs:jakarta-poi/.
Assuming you fit a nice simple setup, then it would not take a lot of
effort to request that the Infra guys setup a test svn repo for POI
and then the niggly bits about IDE support could be tested out etc.
The request would pretty much be a search+replace on
http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta/Regexp_20Subversion_20Conversion.
