The https protocol is excellent to pierce firewalls. I found this:

http://wiki.tcl.tk/9411

It seems that sourceforge is running a ssh server SSH-1.99-OpenSSH_3.6.1p2 
on the https port. Just try http://cvs-ssh.sourceforge.net:443/ in your 
browser. If it works, there is a chance that you can pierce your firewall. 
But it may be possible that your firewall blocks the CONNECT 
somewhere HTTP/1.1 request. Note also that your network admin could get 
upset, and if you do something wrong there is a theoretical chance that 
someone that hacked cvs-ssh.sourceforge.net can see something in your 
internal net (If you accidently enable Port forwarding).

Stunnel (http://www.stunnel.org/) is also a excellent product to gain 
ssh-access to the cvs server via https.

Good luck :-)
