I'd convert from RCS to CVS first. CVS repositories are just a bunch of
RCS files, so conversion is trivial. Something like:

find . -name '*,v' -print |
while read a
do
    b=`echo "$a" | sed -e 's,/RCS/,/,'`
    c=`dirname $b`
    mkdir -p "$CVSROOT/$module/$c"
    cp "$a" "$b"
done

should do the trick (unless you have newlines in filenames).

After that you can use cvs2svn.
