Info saids No:

   The `PreservePermissions' features do not work with client/server
CVS.  Another limitation is that hard links must be to other files
within the same directory; hard links across directories are not
supported.

(This may be for pserver.  I do not know if ssh is used)

Also I just experimented. I can "import" /etc into CVS by root but I can
not even "ci" as root locally:

root@xxxxx:/etc# cvs ci
cvs [commit aborted]: cannot commit files as 'root'

Well, it does not look easy.
