Yes, cvs2svn, which can now also output to git.  But note: cvs2svn only
supports one-time conversions (not incremental), you need to use the
trunk version of cvs2svn, and using it to convert to git is not yet
documented very well.  See the following thread:

http://marc.info/?l=git&m=118592701426175&w=4

Please let us know how it goes!
