Software without tarballs (SVN or CVS only)

Is it acceptable to package (officially) projects that do not release
tarballs, but can be downloaded via SVN or CVS and tarballed from there?
I have two packages in mind, one of which I have packaged, but not
tested, the other I used a few years ago and would like to package.
These are PyKota and DSPAM. DSPAM may eventually release a tarball, but
currently has not done so since the project being sold. Both are FOSS
according to Fedora guidelines.
If these are acceptable, once I have tested them a bit, would anyone
mind sponsoring me and helping me get started?
I had mentioned bedework before (bedework.org). Currently, I do not know
enough about java building to make a package work. Also, the tarball
situation would be similar due to them also shipping the binaries and
several Fedora included packages in the tarball.
Thank you,
Trever Adams
