cvsup -z -P - <cvsupfile>

you can find that at the CVSUP page !

from cvsup -h:
    -P range     Range for client data ports (default unrestricted)
                 Range can be a single port number or a range
                 "lo-hi".  A range of "-" selects passive mode.
                 A range of "m" selects multiplexed mode.
