I think that the multiplexed mode is more appropriate for your needs since the passive mode will need 2 TCP connections from your machine to the CVSup-Server (one to the CVSup port 5999 and an abitrary other one). If you use the multiplexed mode, however, CVSup will work with a single TCP connection from your machine to the CVSup server's port 5999. The cvsup(1) man page explains this in detail, but basically your firewall must permit outgoing TCP traffic from your machine to cvsup.server:5999 and incoming TCP traffic from cvsup.server:5999 to your machine.
