I think so.

No, it's because you can't fetch from CVS behind a firewall, so some
people will never be able to build your port if it relies on CVS
fetching.  Instead, you should make your own tarball (possibly by
using a helper makefile target for use by the maintainer that fetches
from CVS and creates the tarball) and make it available for
redistribution, either on your own FTP site or on MASTER_SITE_LOCAL.
