I think what you want to do is "tla import" the earliest CVS revision 
into a new TLA archive (have a look at the GNU Arch tutorials for a 
guide on how to do this), and then run something like:

for tagname in <list of CVS tags, in order>
do
        cvs update -r $tagname
        until `tla tree-lint -t > /dev/null`
        do
                for newfile in `tla tree-lint -t`
                do
                        tla add $newfile
                done
        done
        tla commit -s "CVS tag $tagname" \
                -L "CVS synch with tag $tagname"
done

With such a script, your new Arch repository would not have the complete 
history of *every* file, but it would have one revision for every one of 
your tagged releases. Assuming there's nothing *too* weird going on with 
your source tree, of course...
