Correct, it doesn't work.

http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/textproc/sgmltools-lite/Makefile?rev=HEAD

Error: Malformed query "rev=HEAD" 

http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/textproc/sgmltools-lite/Makefile?rev=.

Check whether the directory /home/ncvs/CVSROOT exists and the script has write-access to the CVSROOT/history file if it exists.
The script needs to place lock files in the directory the file is in as well.
