CVS is file based, so you could superficially use file synchronization
software.  In the real world though, there will be trouble.  

In most cases though, it shouldn't be necessary to have multiple CVS
servers.  CVSNT supports compression and is pretty fast anyway--There are a
number of CVS installations (mine included) who have developers in North
America and India checking in & out of the same repositories without
trouble.

You could still use a replicated CVS if you treat the replica as read-only,
which would be safe.  That would be the only replicated CVS[NT] that I'd
recommend (that DCVS looks interesting, I might consider it if I had large
user bases on both sides of the world).
