For giving a Mac user access to a CVS repository? Yes.

You might even think about using Mac OS X (a.k.a. BSD Unix) as the 
server. You should be able to set it up with the either the rsh or 
ssh protocols.

A command line CVS comes with Mac OS X. I don't remember if it's part 
of the standard installation. You might have to install the developer 
tools to get it. The installer for the developer tools should be in a 
folder in /Applications, but I forgot the name of the folder. You 
should be able to find it.

A GUI client is called MacCVS. Find it at maccvs.org
