Perhaps leaving the cvs zip/tar with a simple text file enclosed
explaining that the cvs is obsolete and where the new svn code resides, as
well as a link to the svn program might be better?

This would solve 2 problems:

1.  Those who don't read the FAQ or readme first (shame on you!), this
would solve all the unessary questions, like where do I get svn, where is
the trunk located, etc.

2. Those who use some sort of automated download via crontab or what not
to grab latest code (those that don't actually view the website), this
would inform them of where to get the latest code and allow them to adjust
their scripts accordingly.
