I assume that you mean that you have https access to the new Subversion 
repository and would like to inject content into it from an existing CVS 
repository.

The answer is no.  The cvs2svn tool requires file-level access to the 
CVS repository and "svnadmin load" access to the Subversion repository, 
which also requires file-level access.

What cvs2svn *can* do is output a Subversion dumpfile containing the 
full history from the CVS repository.  Perhaps your Subversion hoster 
offers an administrative interface for loading a dumpfile into a SVN 
repository, or somebody who has access to the server can run the 
"svnadmin load" command for you if you send them the dumpfile.
