No, it doesn't know.

For binary files, standard CVS stores the information in an "expand @b@;" header at the file level; if this header is absent the file is supposed to be text. CVSNT does not create this header, instead it uses "kopt b;" for revisions. So cvs2svn will handle such files as text, possibly leading to corruption of binary files.
