Eric Sandall has been updating the CVS server manually from Perforce (IIRC).  
I guess it depends on how diligent he has been able to be as to how current 
it is.

The plan is to have the CVS server and the Perforce server operating in 
tandem.  The hold up has been that there is no one with the knowledge and/or 
time to create the synchronization scripts.  If you are volunteering, I am 
sure there are many folks who would be happy to hear that.
