"modules" is a CVS feature that doesn't map well into other version
control systems, and cvs2svn doesn't pay any attention to it.

But, in this case it sounds like you could just rearrange your cvs
repository to make the modules file irrelevant:

cd /cvsroot
mkdir PRJ1
mv mod6 mod7 mod5
mv mod5 mod4
mv mod4 mod3
mv mod3 mod2
mv mod1 mod2 PRJ1
