Can I use a Subversion server with an existing CVS client? Some kind of
backwards compatibility bridge thing?

Not only pre-existing projects on CVS though. If a new project is split
off of an existing project, it's not going to want to go and use
subversion. If developers from one of the CVS projects have a new idea,
they're not going to want to go and make those new ideas be in a
subversion project.
