Yeah, just convert the subdirs that represent your modules. I mean,
on Unix, you could do something like (typing without trying this, so
pay attention only to the gist of my idea):
$ cd /path/to/cvs/repos
$ for module in `ls -1 | grep -v CVSROOT`; do \
cvs2svn.py --create -s ${module}-svn-repos ${module}; done

Kinda. But the problem you'll run into here is that all your tags and
branches from various modules will be intertwined in the /tags and
/branches directory, and trying to use something like svndumpfilter to
sort that mess out just ain't worth it. Try the method above first.
