I don't think there's an option for cvs2svn to do this any differently.  
You'll have to do it in steps.

My old (not very descriptive) notes imply that it might be like:

  http://cvs2svn.tigris.org/faq.html#oneatatime
  http://cvs2svn.tigris.org/cvs2svn.html#examples

  cd /tmp/
  cvs2svn --dump-only repository/wxPerl

  svnadmin create --fs-type fsfs svn_repo

  # so, only if you want to put multiple things in one repository
  svn mkdir file:///tmp/svn_repo/wxPerl -m "wxPerl directory"
  svnadmin load --parent-dir wxPerl svn_repo/ < cvs2svn-dump

Yeah, it is best if it is in one layout from the beginning, otherwise 
there is a bit of friction in pulling logs and diffs where you have to 
(IIRC) use the full url because the file doesn't exist in the checkout 
path.
