No I don't.  But I don't think you need to do anything sophisticated.   
Tar up your complete CVS checkout, do an SVN checkout, then untar on  
top of that SVN checkout.  Delete the CVS directories, and you should  
be ok.  Now if you actually want to commit those changes to SVN, then  
you will need to do some extra work by add/remove any files, but file  
diffs to existing files should be just fine.  You can do a double  
check by comparing the two directories (CVS and SVN checkouts) using  
recursive diff and excluding the CVS and .svn repositories  
directories.  Something like:

diff -rc --exclude CVS --exclude .svn swarm_cvs swarm_svn
