SSL is always client/server side in that the client has to support SSL in order for everything to work. When you connect to a web server via SSL it's because your client supports SSL and the server is setup to create SSL connections with the clients. stunnel can SSL enable just about anything but the client you are connecting to it with must support it. So, in order to do what you want you'll need a SSL enabled CVS client and a SSL enabled CVS server. If your server doesn't support SSL then that support can be added using stunnel. If you have a CVS client that supports SSL you'll be able to make the connection to the server. I did a quick search for CVS clients that support this and I didn't find much but they may be out there.
The other solution I suggested was to tunnel the traffic to and from the CVS server using stunnel. This method wouldn't require a SSL enabled client or server but would require stunnel on both ends. Either using a proxy or by having stunnel on each client machine, assuming they are *NIX based.

ssh-keysign
SSH-KEYSIGN(8) BSD System Manager's Manual SSH-KEYSIGN(8)
NAME
ssh-keysign -- ssh helper program for host-based authentication
SYNOPSIS
ssh-keysign
DESCRIPTION
ssh-keysign is used by ssh(1) to access the local host keys and generate the digital signature required during host-based authentication with
SSH protocol version 2.
ssh-keysign is disabled by default and can only be enabled in the global client configuration file /etc/ssh/ssh_config by setting
EnableSSHKeysign to ``yes''.
ssh-keysign is not intended to be invoked by the user, but from ssh(1). See ssh(1) and sshd(8) for more information about host-based authen-
tication.
FILES
/etc/ssh/ssh_config
Controls whether ssh-keysign is enabled.
/etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key, /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
These files contain the private parts of the host keys used to generate the digital signature. They should be owned by root, read-
able only by root, and not accessible to others. Since they are readable only by root, ssh-keysign must be set-uid root if host-
based authentication is used.
SEE ALSO
ssh(1), ssh-keygen(1), ssh_config(5), sshd(8)
HISTORY
ssh-keysign first appeared in OpenBSD 3.2.
