You don't need to allow incoming connections to port 5999; cvsup by
default will multiplex traffic over the one outgoing connection. You
can also connect through a SOCKS proxy server (but not an HTTP proxy)
if your company has one. If your firewall blocks all outgoing TCP
connects, then you are probably stuck.
