Copy the built *_protocol.la files from 
/usr/ports/devel/cvsnt/work/cvsnt-2.0.51/protocols to 
/usr/local/lib/cvsnt and it should then work.

The cvsnt code looks for *_protocol.la files (see library_unix.c 
enumerate_protocols function). I have found only the .so files are 
copied during the install on FreeBSD.

I hope that helps. I have been running a cvsnt server on FreeBSD for 
some time now without any issues.
