cvs for Mac OSX

is there a place I can get just the cvs executable for OSX as a standalone binary?

I don't want to go through the whole rigamarole of having to download XCode just to get cvs, which I don't use, except the source for flickrj is only published via a cvs repository.

    3. Double-click the file XcodeTools.mpkg, located inside the directory Optional Installs/Xcode Tools.
