I was wondering if there were any tools to keep a mirror repository of
CVS as a git repository.
Basically, I would like to mirror a CVS repository (that I don't
control) as a git "main" branch. This CVS repository is live and
expected to remain so.
I would then work on another git branch and would do merges from the
main branch to mine as I see fit to develop some stuff.
Is there anything like that? Basically, I'm looking for the equivalent
of Tailor for Mercurial.

As a second question...
Are there any good websites that can host a git repository? Something
equivalent to sourceforge but for git.

I'm no expert on this, maybe cvsimport. I'll let other answer.

Savannah support Git.
There is also http://repo.or.cz

Tailor supports Git, too.
There are many CVS -> git tools: git-cvsimport (uses cvsps), parsecvs
(accesses ,v files directly), fromcvs (in Ruby), cvs2svn development
branch. But I think only git-cvsimport allows incremental import.
Another solution would be to set Git repository as a fake CVS
repository using git-cvsserver (now with beginning of authenticated
pserver access!).

there is also gc-utils (http://sf.net/projects/gcutils) which wraps
git-cvsimport and git-cvsexportcommit to make commiting back into CVS a
little bit easier.
