I think ther is a precompiled version of cvsup.  Check the section on the
handbook which explains cvsup.  Somewhere in that section is a link to the
precompiled version.  Just D/L and untar it and follow the instructions in
the README (might be called something else) file.  The section in the
handbook will also help you setup a supfile.

Hope this helps.
