I think this is not the best way to deal with long porting efforts.
Sure it's very tempting to use version control for anything more
complicated that "hello world" type of work, but it this case local hg
or git mirror would suit much better.

Last by not least, end users probably won't expect WIP in the ports: if
something's committed, it should work, if it does not, it is broken, not
"in progress".  I believe our CVS should not be abused for private works
(private here means "behind the scenes").
