I intend to switch over from CVS to Git. In the case of SVN, there seems to be cvs2svn. Is there a similar tool to easily migrate from CVS to Git?

The main difference is that (as it was already said in other responses) CVS is (old) centralized version control system, while Git is distributed. But even if you use version control for single developer, on single machine (single account), there are a few differences between Git and CVS: Setting up repository.
Git offers much more tools than CVS. One of more important is "git bisect" that can be used to find a commit (revision) that introduced a bug; if your commits are small and self-contained it should be fairly easy then to discover where the bug is.
The only tool that has incremental import seems to be git-cvsimport. If you want to convert (migrate) from CVS to Git, the best solution for now seems to be mentioned above cvs2git mode of cvs2svn.
See also Interfaces Frontends And Tools page on Git wiki, section about interaction with other revision control systems.
