I have similar problem with subversions.gnu.org. CVS update (run from 
gcc_update script) gets stuck in directory libjava/java/awk. As the default
options for CVS are -Pd, then I removed this directory and rerun update.
This time directory were created, but no files retrieved, it simply gets stuck
for a long time.
 
Inside directory libjava/java/awt/CVS:

file Entries is empty
file Entries.log is also empty
file Repository contains 'gcc/libjava/java/awt'
file Root contains ':ext:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/gcc'
file Tag contains 'Tgcc-3_4-branch'

This is expected when using pserver mode in CVS.  We have 10 open
slots for pserver CVS on sources.redhat.com.  If all the slots are
taken, incoming connections are accepted and then stalled until one of
the 10 slots becomes free.
