I've had the same situation here and I couldn't convince our "security" team to open 5999 for my cvsups. I do have ssh (22tcp) open, and a box at home, on which I setup xinetd to accept connections on localhost:5999 => cvsup7.freebsd.org:5999 added cvsup7.freebsd.org as alias to my localhost in /etc/hosts and tunneled 5999 through ssh between my office_box and my home_box ;) hope this helps, Ed.
