I presume /usr/sbin/cvspserver is a shell script that runs CVS with the
appropriate arguments.  A more typical example is the one that's now in
the manual:

service cvspserver
{
   port        = 2401
   socket_type = stream
   protocol    = tcp
   wait        = no
   user        = root
   passenv     = PATH
   server      = /usr/local/bin/cvs
   server_args = -f --allow-root=/usr/cvsroot pserver
}

(If cvspserver is defined in '/etc/services', you can omit the port
line.)
