You need to clone the gitoite-adin repo, and declare a new repo:
See "adding and removing repos"

Once done, you would add to your exisintg local git repo (the one with the CVS import in it) a new remote:

git remote add gitolite git@server:to

(you can name the remote origin if you want)

And then you would push your local repo to the gitolite-managed one:

git push gitolite master # to initialize the remote repo with master branch
git push gitolite --all # to push all branches
git push gitolite --tags # to push all tags

(git push --all as mentioned in "With GitHub how do I push all branches when adding an existing repo?")
