If you don't want to install the Modula-3 libraries, then get the static
binary release instead.  From the announcement:

    Where to Get CVSup
    ------------------
    CVSup is free software.  It is available from the following FTP sites:

      ftp://freefall.freebsd.org/pub/CVSup/
      ftp://ftp.polstra.com/pub/FreeBSD/CVSup/     (slow; avoid if possible)

    Full sources as well as FreeBSD binaries are available:

      cvsup-bin-14.0.tar.gz         FreeBSD static binaries for the client
      cvsupd-bin-14.0.tar.gz        FreeBSD static binaries for the server
      cvsup-14.0.tar.gz             Sources **

    MD5 signatures for these files are:

      MD5 (cvsup-bin-14.0.tar.gz) = 7a5cef5919d28979d6e33dcf7b2898c0
      MD5 (cvsupd-bin-14.0.tar.gz) = 5c29e36e339582693f2bc2db23254449
      MD5 (cvsup-14.0.tar.gz) = 331bb5c114bac2053eeaa46eaa8f19c3

You just need the client, "cvsup-bin-14.0.tar.gz".  It will run under
FreeBSD-2.1.5 and later, maybe even -2.1.0.
