cvsup           5999/tcp        CVSup           # CVSup file 
transfer/John Polstra/FreeBSD

You need these ports for outgoing. If you keep state on your 
connections, you don't have to use passive cvsup, but if you need it or 
want it for some reason, you'll have to pick a port range for incoming 
passive connections and specify those ports with -P in the cvsup args. 
See cvsup (1) for more details.

Good Luck,
Jason
