They are doing almost the same.
Browsing through CVSRepositories using a Web-Interface

The main differences are:
* CVSWeb is written in Perl, ViewCVS in Python
* CVSWeb does not support features like display Revisionsgraphs using 
cvsgraph or syntax highlighting using enscript, which ViewCVS does
* CVSWeb is faster than ViewCVS

In older days, when there not have been such comfortable installers like 
Bo's ViewCVS-Installer, it was more nifty to set up ViewCVS than to set 
up CVSNT. Since this problem is solved, that's not an argument any more 
... Perhaps it depends which scripting language you prefer.
