It is trivial to split up a cvs repo into multiple separate svn
repositories. Just run cvs2svn multiple times, each time pointing it at
one of the project subdirectories within cvs.

Converting multiple CVS projects into one svn repository, so that each
project has its own trunk/tags/branches, is possible with cvs2svn
version 1.5.x. Search for "multiproject conversions" in the
documentation and FAQ. You will need to start the conversion with an
options file to use this feature.

This can also be configured. See the documentation near the option
"ctx.cross_project_commits" in the options file.

cvs2svn has its own mailing lists. You can find them via the cvs2svn
project page,
