Actually, I think you might consider starting with a one-way sync from CVS
to darcs, you could then work out some of the bugs in the darcs
configuration and get some of the users used to pulling with darcs, and
later switch the direction of the one-way sync to allow modification on the
darcs side of things.  I imagine that way you could pretty easily (and
quickly) switch back to syncing the other direction (and switch to a
backup) if things go wrong somehow.
