Actually, in using Subversion I've found it broken enough that a
migration to it does not offer that much of an advantage over staying
with CVS.  It would certainly offer us some advantages, but our usage of
CVS has proven successful.  Moreover, several developers have started
using the DSCM of their choice on top of our CVS repo, which gives a lot
of the benefits without the hassle of forcing everyone else to convert.

I say we should try Review Board with CVS.  If it doesn't work, make
sure it gets fixed.
