It sounds like you need to open port 2401 on your firewall to allow 
incoming connections to that port on your cvs server, that would allow the 
outside devs to use pserver (or preferably SSH or even SSPI) to get back 
into the network.

If you really are restricted to ONLY port 80, there is an alpha-release 
code management system called "SubVersion".  Unfortunately I don't know 
much more than the fact it uses HTTP for communications and runs on Apache 
web server.
