No.  I am attempting to say the exact opposite.  I am also suggesting
that you were mistaken about needing to restart pserver.  If you
couldn't get a response from a CVS pserver, then it would be your
inetd that had broken since it is responsible for answering connection
requests and starting CVS servers.

However, if you couldn't even ping your server machine (again, ping
has absolutely no direct connection to CVS), then something is either
wrong with your network or, possibly, your hung NFS was preventing
your ping command from running somehow.
