My impression is that it may be possible with a four-step migration (but to be frank I am not too sure about its viability due to my limited exposure to branches):
1. Migrate the entire CVS repository to a temporary SVN repo (you know how to do it better than I do)
2. Get a snapshot of the entire repository (using "svnadmin dump")
3. Because in SVN a branch is just a sub-tree of the repository, you can filter the sub-tree out of the repo using svndumpfilter, to produce a snapshot dump that covers that branch you want only.
4. Finally, load the filtered snapshot to the real SVN repo (of course, create a temporary repo to test it first!) using svnadmin load.
You can find more about svndumpfilter here (and also svnadmin):

Good luck!

svn::web::view
SVN::Web::View(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation SVN::Web::View(3pm)
NAME
SVN::Web::View - SVN::Web action to view a file in the repository
SYNOPSIS
In config.yaml
actions:
...
view:
class: SVN::Web::View
action_menu:
show:
- file
link_text: (view file)
...
DESCRIPTION
Shows a specific revision of a file in the Subversion repository. Includes the commit information for that file.
OPTIONS
rev The revision of the file to show. Defaults to the repository's youngest revision.
If this is not an interesting revision for this file, the repository history is searched to find the youngest interesting revision
for this file that is less than "rev".
TEMPLATE VARIABLES
at_head A boolean value, indicating whether the user is currently viewing the HEAD of the file in the repository.
context Always "file".
rev The revision that has been returned. This is not necessarily the same as the "rev" option passed to the action. If the "rev"
passed to the action is not interesting (i.e., there were no changes to the file at that revision) then the file's history is
searched backwards to find the next oldest interesting revision.
youngest_rev
The youngest interesting revision of the file.
mimetype
The file's MIME type, extracted from the file's "svn:mime-type" property. If this is not set then "text/plain" is used.
file The contents of the file.
author The revision's author.
date The date the revision was committed, formatted according to "Time and date formatting" in SVN::Web.
msg The revision's commit message.
EXCEPTIONS
None.
