There's something called PCL-CVS, which is included with Emacs. I
use git.el not magit so I can't really say how similar it is. Probably
not much.
As for shuttling between git and cvs, the Debian description for package
git-cvs says:
The git cvsimport tool can incrementally import from a repository that
is being actively developed and only requires remote access over CVS
protocol. Unfortunately, in many situations the import leads to
incorrect results. For reliable, one-shot imports, cvs2git from the
cvs2svn package or parsecvs may be a better fit.
In short: I would not risk it.
