The version I have (which I have installed a few months ago) is a tiny
bit newer than 16.1 though:

$ pkg_info | grep cvsup
cvsup-16.1e         A general network file distribution system optimized for CV

Have you even tried to check these two URLs that CVSup prints before
aborting?  The first one includes the following pointer to a package
of CVSup that is statically linked and does not depend on X11 to run:

http://people.freebsd.org/~jdp/s1g/freebsd-3.5/cvsup-16.1e-FreeBSD-3.5S-ix86-elf-nogui.tgz

Grab this package and install it.  That should fix your problems.
