I strongly doubt that this would be useful.  (You would need to ensure
that the result of your "cvs2svn" run is the same as that which was used
for the SVN repo, I believe.)

IIRC, the (compressed) seed files are relatively small -- especially the
ports seed.

There is no "www" repo.  src, doc, & ports; each is a separate repo,
yes.  From <http://wiki.freebsd.org/PortsSubversionPrimer>: "In
svn+ssh://svn.freebsd.org/base, base refers to the source tree.
Similarly, ports refers to the ports tree, and so on. These are separate
repositories with their own change number sequences, access controls and
commit mail."
