I don't know about any debug or verbose modes for cvs in server mode, but
maybe you are missing some or all shared libraries that cvs depends on
in your chroot area?

This is FreeBSD 4.10-STABLE, but I don't think that cvs on FreeBSD 5.x is
any different;
address@hidden:tmp]$ ldd /usr/bin/cvs
/usr/bin/cvs:
libgnuregex.so.2 => /usr/lib/libgnuregex.so.2 (0x280db000)
libmd.so.2 => /usr/lib/libmd.so.2 (0x280e3000)
libcrypt.so.2 => /usr/lib/libcrypt.so.2 (0x280ec000)
libz.so.2 => /usr/lib/libz.so.2 (0x28105000)
libc.so.4 => /usr/lib/libc.so.4 (0x28112000)
