Linux can be switched into UTF-8 so that files can be written in that & should be able to be read anywhere (application support for this varies, however). It does seem that OS-X doesn't do this so you'll have to make sure that all the clients that want to read the document are using the same codepage (which is exactly what you'd have to do anyway whether cvs was involved or not).
