Did you try using Tailor?  It has worked great for me to import from and
stay synchronized with CVS projects.  Here is my example configuration:

----- begin file: grub.tailor -----
[grub]
patch-name-format = None
source = cvs:grub2
target = bzr:grub

[cvs:grub2]
repository = :pserver:anonymous at cvs.savannah.gnu.org:/sources/grub
module = grub2
encoding = iso-8859-1

[bzr:grub2]
----- end file: grub.tailor -----

Then, just execute Tailor with the following command:

  tailor --config=../grub.tailor

I create a subdirectory underneath the directory where 'grub.tailor'
is, and then I run the above 'tailor' command in that subdirectory,
since it will check out the CVS tree into the current working
directory.  This CVS checkout is then also a bzr branch, which is
updated every time you re-run the 'tailor' command above if there are
any new commits to CVS.

Regards,
Colin
