It is not official API, but in Eclipse 2.1.1 you can get the CVS team 
provider as follows:

CVSTeamProvider teamProvider =
  (CVSTeamProvider) RepositoryProvider.getProvider(project,
                         CVSProviderPlugin.getTypeId());


Then you can perform some CVS operations on it. You find a good example at:

However in 3.0 the "API" changed.
