The simple answer is yes, you can run svn & cvs repositories in 
parallel, but I personally think that would be bonkers ;-). (A recipe 
for confusion and hard to work with).

I think there are 2 main options:

1) Stick with CVS and create a branch.
2) Import the existing CVS to SVN and then branch in that.

I think the latter idea is probably a good one. We were chuffed with the 
result of converting WebLearn from CVS to SVN - it captured all the 
history beautifully, so we have experience of doing that (with cvs2svn) 
and could definitely provide you with tips there.
