Is this possible?
Not really. It is not that hard to go from subversion to cvs. The other way around however will loose information. This is because cvs is not changeset but file based. So if you would like to put sets of changes as one changeset into subversion (in a way that somehow you don't loose information on the identity of the committer) you would need to collect commits, run heuristics on whether they belong together etc. All in all a messy business.
