Matt,

Not sure how much this will help you, but I have some notes available on 
setting up a CVS repository and then configuring Eclipse on Windows as a 
client to connect to it over SSH. 

There are lots of ways to connect to CVS from a workstation, I just happen 
to use Eclipse-based editors for most of my work and think they have a 
slick interface to CVS.  This approach also avoids most of the complexity 
that Hans mentioned, though it depends how how you plan to do your 
development. 

The instructions say Solaris/Windows XP/WSAD, but most of the server parts 
should work on *BSD (or Linux) and with Eclipse 2.x or 3.x.

Good luck with the BSDJOBS project.
