With the standard CVS, it's a compiler option, but I have no idea about any of 
the Mac ports.  Of course Mac OS X should be released next month and if they get
their compiler tools straightened out, you should be able to compile the 
standard CVS with no problems.  Of course you'll lose your GUI front end.  You 
might
check cvsgui.org in case they've solved this problem.
