well, as already said, viewcvs doesn't support access control itself. but
you can still use apache for this (at least if you have full control over
your apache configuration). my setup looks something like this:

ScriptAlias /viewcvs /somepath/viewcvs-1.0-dev/www/cgi/viewcvs.cgi

<Location /viewcvs>
    SVNPath /somepath/svn/repos

    AuthType Basic
    AuthName "Subversion repository"
    AuthUserFile /somepath/dav_svn.passwd
    AuthzSVNAccessFile /somepath/dav_acl

    Satisfy Any
    Require valid-user
</Location>

you just have to make sure, that you don't enable any features in viewcvs
which don't follow the directory structure such as the download tarball
option.

by the way: there seems to be happening something concerning the access
control stuff in trac (<http://www.edgewall.com/products/trac/>) for the
next release according to corresponding ticket. this might become a good
alternative once it is implemented.
