I think I'd feel better about the trend of moving things from the base
to ports if cross-building ports for non-x86 platforms worked.

I have no specific need for CVS in base and I think there's plenty of
lead time if the process starts now for people to adjust before the 10.0
release, so don't count the above general statement as a vote against
removing CVS.
