Are you talking about Apache or IIS?  If the former, then it's trivial. 
  HTTPS Apache sessions (and indeed any session on the non-default port) 
are completely independent vhosts so you can have the same server name 
and two different ports (80 and 443) with completely different 
configurations.  Indeed RTFM for details.

As for IIS, I believe you can set a given directory as requiring SSL, so 
just put viewcvs.cgi in a subdirectory and mark the directory appropriately.
