Here's what the current development version of the manual says:

If your system uses xinetd instead of inetd, the procedure is slightly
different.  Create a file called '/etc/xinetd.d/cvspserver' containing
the following:

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.)
