You don't mention what version of eclipse you are using.
In mine (3.1) I have a couple of options...
1. File - Import...
"The following wizards are available" includes "Checkout projects from CVS"
2. If you've already got a cvs repository configured in eclipse (Try eclipse help, it's great in the version I'm using)...browse the repository, pick the project to import and right-click select "Check out as..." and follow the wizard.
