Jens, thanks for the reply.  Here is my progress so far.  I put some
cvs_log statements in AppGlue.cpp, function glue_getenv, here is what
happens when I try to login:

cvs -z3 -d :pserver:[email protected]:/data/cvs/cvsroot login

AppGlue::glue_getenv TMPDIR
AppGlue::glue_getenv CVSEDITOR
AppGlue::glue_getenv VISUAL
AppGlue::glue_getenv EDITOR
AppGlue::glue_getenv CVSROOT
AppGlue::glue_getenv CVSREAD
AppGlue::glue_getenv CVSUMASK
Logging in to
:pserver:[email protected]:2401:/data/cvs/cvsroot

It gets called a bunch of times, but not for CVS_GETPASS unfortunately. 
When I run inside anjuta so that i get a console, the prompt I get is
"CVS password: ".  This is not coming from gCvs, but from cvsnt, file
src/login.c.

I'll continue with this on the weekend.  The good news is that if I can
figure out how to get the env variable triggered, I see in
GetPassword.cpp function CompatGetPassword that the password dialog is
created to prompt the user for the password.

I see a lot of code in CompatGetPassword for the Mac.  Do you know if
you get prompted for a password for pservers in MacCvs?
