No, cvsup uses its own protocol and ports.  The default port is 5999.  See
the man page for alternative modes (including SOCKS) for getting around a
firewall.

Note that cvsup.freebsd.org is really, really busy; try a mirror closer to
your location.  cvsup.freebsd.org may have denied your connection because
it was over it's limit or the server was down.  cvsup2 is a pretty good
bet, but there are cvsup[345] too I think.
