Port forwarding is still not a general solution.

I've got a properly-managed, backed up, ssh-accessible shell account
on kernel.org. I've got such accounts with a couple of ISPs. On any
of these servers, I can immediately host a bitkeeper or cvs
repository. At worst I have to copy over a local binary of the bk or
cvs server.

I cannot host a svn repository on these sites.

I do not have permission to run permanent background daemons on these
hosts.
