On your server, set:

Locale=en_GB.UTF-8   (or en_US whatever.. doesn't matter a lot).

in your /etc/cvsnt/PServer

The client will then have a much better chance of converting.

btw. you can in fact switch a windows client into UTF8 too, but it's 
strictly experimental (I use it for testing..).  On an NTFS drive this 
should preserve any filename regardless of codepage.

cvs --utf8 ls
